This bill would amend the National Labor Relations Act to require that workers voting on union representation must do so through secret ballot elections conducted by the National Labor Relations Board, rather than allowing other methods of selecting union representatives. Currently, workers can be designated as union members through card-check authorization or other non-ballot processes, and this legislation seeks to eliminate those alternatives. The bill also requires the Labor Relations Board to hold a hearing and rule on any disputed issues, such as which workers are eligible to vote or whether the bargaining unit is properly defined, before an election can take place. Additionally, the legislation imposes a one-month deadline for the Board to conduct elections after a petition is filed. The bill would affect private sector workers and employers nationwide by changing how union representation decisions are made.
