Bill > HB1374

This bill repeals Indiana's right-to-work law, which previously prohibited employers from requiring employees to join a labor organization or pay union dues as a condition of employment. The bill makes several technical changes to update references to "labor organization" across multiple state code sections, specifically expanding the definition to mean any organization, agency, union, or employee representation committee that exists to help employees negotiate with employers about workplace issues like grievances, wages, and working conditions. The bill amends various sections of Indiana law to replace references to the old right-to-work statute (IC 22-6-6-5) with a new definition in IC 20-20-47-4, effectively removing legal restrictions on mandatory union membership or dues payment. Additionally, the bill repeals the entire right-to-work chapter (IC 22-6-6) and a related criminal statute, with all changes set to take effect on July 1, 2025. This change would give labor unions more power to require membership and financial support from workers in unionized workplaces.
