This resolution designates the week of June 9 through 13, 2025, as "Union Organizing Week" in Pennsylvania to honor workers who have fought for their right to organize and bargain collectively. The resolution highlights the importance of workers' rights to form unions, emphasizing that unionization can benefit both employees and employers by improving workplace safety, wages, healthcare, retirement security, and productivity. The document acknowledges that the decision to unionize is entirely voluntary and recognizes unions' historical role in building the middle class, reducing wage gaps, and combating workplace discrimination. The resolution calls on the House of Representatives to recognize the ongoing efforts of workers to organize, encourage workers to understand and exercise their rights, and promote workplace environments that support both employee well-being and high-quality productivity. By designating this special week, the resolution aims to celebrate the courage and dedication of union members and negotiators who advocate for fair treatment and workplace solidarity.
