Bill > S2984

This bill proposes several significant reforms to labor laws in the United States, focusing on employee rights, union voting, privacy protections, and employment relationships. The bill would require secret ballot elections for union representation, prohibit employees without lawful immigration status from voting in union elections, and mandate that employers provide voter lists with limited personal contact information to labor organizations. It establishes new criteria for determining employee versus independent contractor status, making it harder to classify workers as employees, and restricts joint employer definitions. The bill also limits labor organizations' ability to use employees' personal information, prevents unions from using dues for non-representational activities without explicit written authorization, and allows employees in certain states to negotiate independently outside of union representation. Additionally, the bill restricts diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in collective bargaining agreements, modifies provisions related to union violence, and allows employers to protect employees from discriminatory or harassing language during organizing campaigns. These changes aim to provide more individual employee protections, reduce union power, and clarify employment classification standards.
