The Start Applying Labor Transparency Act (SALT Act) would strengthen disclosure requirements for labor organizations and those they hire to influence unionization efforts. Under the bill, labor unions would be required to report detailed information about payments, loans, or reimbursements given to employees for activities related to union organizing, as well as agreements with labor consultants hired to persuade workers about unionization. Additionally, individuals and firms that receive payment to conduct anti-union or pro-union activities would need to file reports within thirty days of entering such agreements and file annual reports detailing their income from labor organizations. The Secretary of Labor would have six months from the law's enactment to issue regulations necessary to implement these new reporting requirements. The legislation aims to increase transparency around labor relations consulting and union organizing activities by making financial arrangements and persuasion campaigns more visible to workers and the public.
