Bill Summary
Workers' Freedom to Negotiate Act of 2018
AI Summary
This bill proposes several key changes to strengthen worker protections and the practice of collective bargaining:
It amends the National Labor Relations Act to expand coverage, provide a process for initial collective bargaining agreements, strengthen deterrents and remedies for retaliation, protect the right to strike, repeal prohibitions on collective action, and permit fair share fee arrangements. It also amends the Labor Management Relations Act and the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act to support these goals. Additionally, the bill aims to ensure that federal contracting power is used to raise labor standards, improve working conditions, and strengthen workers' bargaining power.
