John,
We’ve seen an immense amount of worker power over the past 4 years. From strikes that led to increased wages and benefits for workers, to a ban on “captive audience” meetings, workers have won big since 2020.
All of that progress is at risk if the Senate doesn’t do its job and confirm Lauren McFerran to a second term on the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Chairwoman McFerran has already served one term and has been renominated for another. She has the backing of the AFL-CIO and the International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers.1,2
We have made huge strides for workers and there’s still more to be gained, but we can’t do it if we lose one of the most pro-worker chairs on the NLRB.
Send a direct message to the Senate and tell them to reconfirm NLRB Chairwoman Lauren McFerran before the December 16th deadline.
SIGN & SEND
If Chairwomen McFerran is not reconfirmed, the incoming administration will gain two board seats and shift the balance to an anti-worker majority. Corporations like Amazon, SpaceX, and Trader Joe's are challenging the constitutionality of the National Labor Relations Act, while Project 2025 and the incoming Trump administration threaten to undermine worker protections. Even OSHA's new proposed heat standard rule is under threat.
Project 2025 lays out a blueprint for the incoming administration as it pertains to labor unions: make it easier to decertify union elections, reduce the NLRB’s ability to investigate unfair labor practices, and reduce overtime pay.3 The only beneficiaries of these policies will be multi-billion dollar corporations and the wealthy who run and own them.
We cannot allow the gains labor has made over the past 4 years to be undone by anti-worker extremists. Join us in calling on the Senate to reconfirm Lauren McFerren to the NLRB now.
Thank you for all you do,
Deborah Weinstein
