What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "National Right-to-Work Act," aims to preserve and protect the free choice of individual employees regarding labor organizations. It seeks to allow employees to choose whether to form, join, or assist labor organizations, or to refrain from such activities. To achieve this, the bill introduces several amendments to the National Labor Relations Act. It also includes an amendment to the Railway Labor Act. These changes are intended to modify how labor relations and unfair labor practices are handled. The Act will apply to any agreements entered into or renewed after it is enacted.

Yes

  • Would business owners be better off under this?+6

    The bill benefits employers by allowing them to hire employees without requiring them to join or pay dues to a labor organization.

The opposite· 3 of 4

  • Would union members be better off under this?-8

    The bill negatively impacts union members by stripping away the ability of unions to require membership or dues as a condition of employment.

  • Does this strengthen the rights of workers to organise?-7

    The bill amends the National Labor Relations Act and Railway Labor Act to remove provisions that prohibit employers from requiring union membership as a condition of employment, which weakens union strength.

  • Would households on low incomes be better off under this?-4

    By weakening union membership requirements, the bill may reduce the collective bargaining power used to secure higher wages for low-income workers.
