Congress.gov lists S.852 as introduced March 5, 2025 by Sen. Bernard Sanders, referred to Senate HELP, and shows Sen. Ruben Gallego as an original cosponsor dated March 5, 2025. The bill status is Introduced.

Gallego took concrete Senate action by original-cosponsoring the PRO Act, a major union-rights bill, but Congress.gov shows it has not advanced beyond introduction/referral.

The introduced text says the bill would amend the National Labor Relations Act and related labor laws. Its table of contents includes sections on unfair labor practices, representatives and elections, damages, injunctions, penalties, limitations on the right to strike, and fair-share agreements.

The bill Gallego cosponsored is substantively aligned with policies intended to make union organizing and collective bargaining easier, supporting partial pursuit rather than completed delivery.

Congress.gov lists the House companion PRO Act as introduced March 5, 2025, referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce, and still in Introduced status. The page shows no enactment steps completed beyond introduction.

The companion bill has not passed the House or become law, so the core federal policy route remains unresolved as of the refresh window.

BLS reported the union membership rate was 10.0 percent in 2025, little changed from the prior year, with 14.7 million wage and salary workers belonging to unions. Workers represented by a union were 11.2 percent in 2025, little different than a year earlier.

Official labor data show unionization had not doubled during Gallego's Senate term; the outcome remains unresolved despite some legislative effort.
