Bill Summary

Right to work; union shops and agency shops. Repeals the provisions of the Code of Virginia that, among other things, prohibit any agreement or combination between an employer and a labor union or labor organization whereby (i) nonmembers of the union or organization are denied the right to work for the employer, (ii) membership to the union or organization is made a condition of employment or continuation of employment by such employer, or (iii) the union or organization acquires an employment monopoly in any such enterprise. The measure also authorizes a collective bargaining agreement to provide for an agency shop or a union shop.

AI Summary

This bill repeals the existing "right-to-work" provisions in the Code of Virginia that prohibit agreements between employers and labor unions that require employees to either join the union or pay a fee to the union as a condition of employment. Instead, the bill authorizes collective bargaining agreements to include "agency shop" or "union shop" provisions, which allow unions to require employees to either join the union or pay a fee to the union as a condition of employment. The bill provides definitions for "agency shop" and "union shop" arrangements.
