Bill > SR123

This resolution designates the week of June 9 through 13, 2025, as "Union Organizing Week" in Pennsylvania to honor workers who have advocated for their right to organize and collectively bargain. The resolution highlights the importance of workers' rights to form unions, emphasizing that unionization can benefit workers through improved workplace safety, fair wages, healthcare, retirement security, and due process. It recognizes that the decision to unionize is entirely voluntary and can positively impact both unionized and non-unionized workforces by potentially increasing wages, benefits, and safety standards. The resolution also acknowledges the historical contributions of unions in building the middle class, reducing wage gaps for women and workers of color, and supporting diverse workers including veterans. Additionally, the resolution encourages employers to work collaboratively with unions and calls on all workers to understand and exercise their rights in a manner that improves work environments and maintains high-quality workplace productivity.
