Expressing support for America's Black workers and affirming the need to pass legislation to reduce inequalities and discrimination in the workforce.
This resolution expresses the House's support for Black workers and calls for legislative action to address workforce inequalities. It specifically identifies key policy areas needing reform, including closing wage gaps, improving workplace safety, and expanding access to job training programs. The resolution affirms support for four specific bills: the PRO Act (to strengthen union rights), the National Apprenticeship Act, the Raise the Wage Act, and the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. It directly addresses systemic disparities affecting Black workers, such as lower earnings (82.6% of median white worker pay) and higher unemployment rates. The resolution does not create new law but urges Congress to advance these measures.
