Whereas the surge in strike activity is supported by 74 per-
cent of Americans; 
Whereas union workers earn wages that are 11.2 percent 
higher than non-union workers on average and are more 
likely to have access to paid sick leave and health benefits 
than nonunionized workers; 
Whereas women union members generally earn more than 
their non-union peers; 
Whereas more than 60 million American workers—over half 
of the entire non-unionized workforce in the United 
States—would vote to join a union if they could; and 
Whereas 68 percent of Americans support labor unions, a 56- 
year high: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the United States House of Rep-
resentatives stands with the brave workers who have col-
lectively raised their voices on the job to demand to be 
valued with adequate pay, quality retirement benefits, and 
safe working conditions and will intend to support their 
efforts by passing pro-worker legislation.
