Labor
Congressman Shri Thanedar is a steadfast advocate for the working families of Michigan's 13th District, and his labor policies are designed to uplift hardworking Americans. He has cosponsored the Richard L. Trumka Protecting the Right to Organize Act (PRO Act) of 2023, a vital piece of legislation that fortifies labor protections. The PRO Act enables employees to more freely organize and collectively bargain, ensuring that the voice of labor is heard loud and clear.
Committed to gender equality, Congressman Thanedar also supports the Paycheck Fairness Act. This bill aims to close the gender wage gap by providing stronger remedies for wage discrimination based on sex, including considerations like pregnancy and sexual orientation.
Recognizing that a livable wage is a human right, the Congressman has cosponsored the Raise the Wage Act, which aims to increase the minimum wage to $17 per hour. This bold move is a step towards ensuring that all Americans can earn a wage that meets the basic cost of living.
