Bill > HR6139

This bill amends the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 to enhance transparency and information sharing between labor unions and their members. Specifically, the bill requires labor organizations to provide members with a copy of the collective bargaining agreement that directly affects their rights, either by mailing a physical copy or posting it on the union's website within 18 months of the bill's enactment and annually thereafter. Additionally, unions must provide all members with a copy of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act, a summary of each of its titles, and the union's constitution and bylaws. These materials must be distributed via mail or electronic mail to new members within 30 days of joining and to existing members within one year of the bill's enactment, with annual updates. Unions are also required to maintain a prominent hyperlink on their website titled 'Union Member Rights and Officer Responsibilities Under the LMRDA' that provides access to this information. To ensure compliance, union presidents and treasurers must submit certification forms to the Secretary of Labor initially within 180 days and then annually, confirming they have met these disclosure requirements. The Secretary of Labor is tasked with issuing implementation regulations within 180 days of the bill's enactment.
