A BILL To preserve and protect the free choice of individual employees to form, join, or assist labor organizations, or to refrain from such activities.

AI Summary

This bill, known as the "National Right-to-Work Act," seeks to modify existing labor laws to prevent mandatory union membership or dues payments for employees. Specifically, the bill amends the National Labor Relations Act and the Railway Labor Act to eliminate provisions that currently allow unions to require workers to pay union dues or maintain union membership as a condition of employment. By removing these clauses, the bill would give employees the absolute freedom to choose whether they want to join a labor organization or pay union dues, without facing potential job discrimination or termination. The changes would apply to both private sector workers covered by the National Labor Relations Act and railway workers covered by the Railway Labor Act. Essentially, the bill aims to weaken union power by making union membership and financial support entirely voluntary, which proponents argue protects worker choice, while critics contend it could undermine unions' ability to effectively represent workers' interests.
