Bill information
Summary
To repeal the authority under the National Labor Relations Act for States to enact laws prohibiting agreements requiring membership in a labor organization as a condition of employment, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
This bill would repeal a federal law that currently allows states to pass 'right-to-work' laws. Right-to-work laws let workers in unionized workplaces opt out of paying union dues or fees even if a union represents them. If this bill passes, states could no longer enact such laws, meaning workers in unionized jobs could be required to pay union dues. The bill is currently in the introductory stage after being introduced by a group of House Democrats.
