Bill > HR5159

This bill, called the "Nationwide Right to Unionize Act," seeks to repeal a specific section of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) that currently allows individual states to enact "right-to-work" laws. Right-to-work laws prohibit agreements that require employees to be union members or pay union dues as a condition of employment. By removing this subsection, the bill would effectively prevent states from passing such laws, which would mean that employers and labor unions could potentially negotiate contracts that mandate union membership or financial contributions as a requirement for working at a particular job. This change would represent a significant shift in labor policy, potentially strengthening unions' ability to maintain membership and financial support across different states, especially in regions that currently have right-to-work laws. The bill is relatively short, consisting of two sections: a title section and a substantive section that directly repeals the relevant part of the existing labor relations statute.
