The Senate will be debating pro-union legislation that would roll back "right to work" laws across the country, which is a key priority for some lawmakers on the Left but has no chance of passing in the House.

The Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, led by Chairman Bernie Sanders (I-VT), announced Tuesday that it would be holding a markup on the Protecting the Right to Organize Act, or PRO Act, on Wednesday. Two other pieces of legislation will also be on the table for discussion.

The PRO Act would enact sweeping changes to the employment landscape, including adjusting what kinds of workers can be classified as independent contractors.

The act would essentially end right-to-work laws, which have been enacted in 27 states and stop unions from requiring that employees pay dues or fees. The PRO Act says that employees who benefit from a collective bargaining agreement can be compelled to contribute to the union.

In a statement announcing the markup, Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), the ranking member of the committee, framed it as partisan.

“For almost a decade and a half, this Committee has committed to work past partisanship to produce meaningful legislation,” Cassidy said. “One of the last bastions of bipartisanship in Congress is being eroded. For what? For the majority to shamelessly message on controversial bills that will not pass the Senate, let alone be signed into law.”
