Nevada, built by union workers. It runs today because of the work that union members do. The Nevada AFL-CIO has worked to raise wages, secure benefits, and ensure safe working conditions for workers all over our state. The SEIU and Teamsters locals in Nevada, well, it\u2019s COVID right now, so they\u2019re fighting for our nurses, our caregivers.

So often, I\u2019m hearing that what unions are doing is undemocratic; it\u2019s violating employees\u2019 democratic rights. What folks fail to realize is that without legislation, there is no democracy in the workplace. It is the National Labor Relations Act that provided democracy in the workplace. And the whole idea was, balance the playing fields. Bring workers an opportunity to have a seat at the table.&nbsp;<u1_p><\/u1_p><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"color:black\"><u1_p>&nbsp;<\/u1_p><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"color:black\">The PRO Act provides and facilitates collective bargaining in an enhanced way in environments that are comparable to the 21st century so that employees have a better chance to be able to bring democracy into the workplace.&nbsp;<u1_p><\/u1_p><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"color:black\">I talked about the value of the collective bargaining agreement. It is the contract, the constitution, of the workplace, mutually negotiated. It\u2019s important because it provides abilities for people to have safe working conditions, employees to be able to be hired and retain their jobs with just cause standards and not be subject to cronyism or possible racism. All of those things that are vital to have workplace integrity and that importance of it.&nbsp;<u1_p><\/u1_p><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><strong><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"color:black\">ROSEN<\/span><\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"color:black\">: Well, you speak about some of this, and we know all too well that the pandemic this last year has really laid bare the disparities that have always existed. So, Dr. Shierholz, Black and Latino unemployment at their peaks were higher than unemployment for white workers, including in my home state of Nevada, which has one of the largest Latino populations in the country. Can you talk about the benefit of unionization for Black and Latino workers in particular, please?<u1_p><\/u1_p><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><strong><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"color:black\">SHIERHOLZ<\/span><\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"color:black\">: Yeah, it\u2019s really an important thing to highlight. I think that there is this idea, because unionization started and it didn\u2019t have a lot of people of color originally, with mostly men, that there\u2019s this idea that that\u2019s still how it is and it could not be farther from the truth.&nbsp;<u1_p><\/u1_p><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"color:black\">The unions really do reflect the diversity of our country as it is today, and there\u2019s enormous benefits to people of color of unions, so black workers and Hispanic workers get a bigger boost to being in unions than white workers do. All workers get a boost to being in unions, but it is more important, the boost is bigger for people of color. Black workers are more likely to be in unions than white workers, and you put all that together, unions are just an incredibly important force for racial, economic justice in this country.&nbsp;<u1_p><\/u1_p><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"color:black\">It\u2019s just, if we take seriously this national discussion we\u2019re having about racial, economic justice, a really important thing we have to do there is boost unionization.&nbsp;<u1_p><\/u1_p><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><strong><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"color:black\">ROSEN<\/span><\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"color:black\">: Thank you.
