I’m writing as your constituent to urge you to confirm NLRB nominee Lauren McFerran immediately! The NLRB’s mission is to protect our rights as workers to organize, form unions, and bargain collectively. At a time when workers’ rights are already under threat, we need to do everything we can to safeguard these functions–and that includes not surrendering control of the Board to the same ideologies that are attacking its right to exist. The Board has long played a crucial role in protecting workers’ rights and helping us hold our employers accountable. We need to do everything we can, right now, to preserve that. Workers’ rights as we’ve known them for nearly 100 years are under attack. Corporations including Amazon, SpaceX, and Trader Joe’s are challenging the constitutionality of the National Labor Relations Act itself in court. Even OSHA’s proposed heat standard, which would provide rest and water to workers in extreme heat conditions, is under threat. The bottom line: Working people need a pro-worker majority on the NLRB. Please ensure the swift confirmation of NLRB nominee Lauren McFerran!
