Congress has a duty to help President Donald Trump put American workers first. Under the Trump administration, blue-collar workers have seen the fastest wage growth since the start of any presidency in the last 60 years. However, while the forthcoming tax cuts and spending reforms will deliver even more results, Congress also needs to modernize federal law to empower workers and improve labor unions to deliver a 21st-century economy that benefits the working class.

The Employee Rights Act of 2025 is the best path forward. I introduced this transformative legislation today. The ERA will protect workers’ rights while refocusing unions on their core mission of representing employees. It will give workers and entrepreneurs the confidence to champion their future and shape our economy for decades.
