Lead Paragraph: Paletuatoa Peniamina today received the endorsement of major labor unions across the country and pledged to sign the PRO Act on his first day in office—legislation that would protect workers' right to organize and bargain collectively.

Key Quotes:

"The PRO Act is the most important piece of labor legislation in generations. It protects the right to organize. It cracks down on union-busting. It makes sure that when workers want to form a union, they can do so without fear of retaliation."

"I'll sign the PRO Act on my first day in office. Not my first week. Not my first month. Day one."

"We're going to raise the minimum wage. We're going to end the sub-minimum wage for tipped workers. We're going to make sure that every worker who wants a union can have one. Because when workers win, America wins."

Key Policy Points:

PRO Act: Protects the right to organize; eliminates "right to work" laws at the federal level.

Raise the Wage: Increase federal minimum wage to $17/hour, indexed to inflation; end sub-minimum wage for tipped workers.

Pension Protection: Strengthen the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation; protect multi-employer pension plans.

Worker Misclassification: Crack down on employers who misclassify workers as independent contractors.
