Don Bacon Has Repeatedly Threatened Workers’ Rights

Happy Labor Day weekend to everyone but Don Bacon, who has a long record of voting against hardworking Nebraskans and repeatedly opposing fair pay and labor rights.

His anti-labor record includes:

  • Voting for the Default on America Act, which would cut off access to job training and development programs for workers and repeal prevailing wage requirements.

  • Repeatedly voting against the PRO Act, which would strengthen unions and protect workers’ right to unionize and fight for fair pay, benefits, and work conditions.

  • Continuously voting to roll back legislation that would ensure fair wages and working conditions for federally-funded projects.

  • Voting to block an amendment to allow workers to earn paid sick time.

  • Voting to ban employers from voluntarily recognizing a union that had the majority of its employees’ support.

DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
“Since being in Congress, Don Bacon has used his position to vote against labor and hurt workers. He has consistently attacked labor unions, threatened workers’ rights, and attempted to roll back workplace safety and wage protections. Time and time again, Bacon has proved he stands against Nebraska workers.”
