Bill > SB636

This bill seeks to completely repeal the West Virginia Workplace Freedom Act of 2016, which was a "right-to-work" law. Specifically, the bill would eliminate sections §21-5G-1 through §21-5G-7 from the state's legal code. Right-to-work laws typically prohibit labor unions from requiring employees to pay union dues as a condition of employment, even if the employees benefit from union-negotiated contracts. By repealing these sections, the bill would effectively remove the legal prohibition against mandatory union membership or dues collection in workplace settings, potentially restoring unions' ability to require all workers in a unionized workplace to contribute financially to the union's representation and bargaining activities.
