Today, Congressman Michael Guest (MS-03) voted against H.R. 842 – The Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act. The bill seeks to undermine right-to-work laws in 27 states, including Mississippi, and grant more bargaining power to unions.
“As a right-to-work state, Mississippi ensures that union bosses cannot force workers to pay unnecessary fees. We must protect middle-class workers from these predatory contracts as Democrats look to undo right-to-work laws across America.”
Right-to-work laws ensure that employees who do not wish to join a union can do so without fear of retaliation. Unions are still allowed to operate in right-to-work states. Mississippi adopted a right-to-work constitutional amendment in 1960.
Congressman Michael Guest represents Mississippi’s Third Congressional District. Currently serving his second term, Congressman Guest is a member of the Committee on Homeland Security, the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, and the Committee on Ethics.
