Bill > HR4154

This bill proposes several significant changes to labor laws in the United States, focusing on employee rights, union interactions, and workplace regulations. It would require secret ballot elections for union representation, prohibit undocumented workers from voting in union elections, and provide enhanced privacy protections for employees by limiting how personal contact information can be used during organizing drives. The bill introduces new criteria for determining independent contractor status, making it harder to classify workers as employees, and restricts how franchisors can interact with franchisees without creating an employment relationship. It also allows employees in "covered states" (right-to-work states) to negotiate independently of unions, prevents labor organizations from mandating diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in collective bargaining agreements, and modifies laws regarding union-related violence by establishing clearer definitions and penalties. Additionally, the bill protects employers' rights to address discriminatory or harassing conduct during organizing campaigns and provides employers more flexibility in managing employment relationships, particularly regarding joint employment and franchise arrangements.
