Background:
U.S. Rep. Phil Roe has consistently led on labor policies that expand opportunity and freedom for Tennesseans. Roe introduced the Employee Rights Act, which would require opt-in permission from union members to use their dues on anything besides collective bargaining.
Rep. Roe also helped pass the VA MISSION Act and VA Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act, legislation that expanded accountability within the VA and stabilized the VA’s community care programs.
