Bill > HR6922

This bill, the Union Integrity Act, amends the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 to provide whistleblower protection for union employees. The key provisions of the bill include: 1. Prohibiting labor organizations from terminating or discriminating against any employee who reports a violation of the Act or other labor laws to the labor organization, the Department of Labor, or any other government authority. 2. Establishing procedures for employees to file complaints with the Secretary of Labor regarding alleged violations, and requiring the Secretary to investigate and issue findings and orders, including reinstatement, back pay, and compensatory damages. 3. Allowing for de novo review in federal district court if the Secretary fails to issue a final order within a certain timeframe. 4. Preventing labor organizations from requiring employees to waive their rights and remedies under this law through pre-dispute arbitration agreements. The overall purpose of the bill is to protect union employees from retaliation for reporting potential violations of labor laws or cooperating with investigations or proceedings related to such laws.
