6th District Wisconsin Congressman Glenn Grothman voted in the minority on Tuesday (March 9th), when the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act.
The Republican from Glenbeulah said in a statement, “Under this bill the employer is forced to hand over the telephone number, the email and the address of each employee to the union.”
He added, “To say that unions have the right to know every member’s home address and turn it over to who knows how many functionaries, I find very offensive. I would find it very scary if an employee came home one night to find someone waiting there for them to talk about a union election.”
Congressman Grothman also stated, “It is hard for me to believe that the Democratic party, which purports to be in favor of protecting working Americans, in particular working women, would champion a bill that amounts to the forced turnover of employees’ private information.”
He explained the PRO Act creates unnecessary and burdensome changes to the joint employer rule which will put “miles of red tape on small business franchisees’ that would devastate the industry.”
