This bill requires federal agencies to collect detailed information from companies bidding on government vehicle contracts, including where vehicles are assembled, worker wages, staffing levels, and any labor or safety violations at those plants. Companies winning these contracts must disclose the specific assembly plant locations and cannot switch to different plants without written permission from the relevant federal agency and advance notice to affected labor unions. The legislation applies to all federal vehicle procurement, including purchases by the U.S. Postal Service, and gives unions the ability to be informed about potential changes to where their members' work takes place. The bill aims to protect union auto worker jobs by increasing transparency and preventing contractors from shifting vehicle assembly to non-union or lower-wage facilities without government oversight.
