Bill > HJR450

This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution of Virginia that would establish a "right to work" provision in the state's Bill of Rights. Specifically, the amendment would declare illegal and void any agreement between an employer and a labor union that requires union membership as a condition of employment, prevents non-union members from working, or gives a labor organization a monopoly on employment in a workplace. The term "right to work" refers to laws that prohibit mandatory union membership or payment of union dues as a condition of employment, which are designed to give workers more individual choice regarding union participation. The resolution must be approved by a majority of members in both the House of Delegates and the Senate, and then must be referred to the next General Assembly session after the next general election of House of Delegates members for final concurrence, following the constitutional amendment process in Virginia.
