The Worker Enfranchisement Act would amend the National Labor Relations Act to change how unions are recognized as employee representatives. Under the bill, a union could only become the exclusive representative of workers if a majority of employees votes for it in a secret ballot election, and at least two-thirds of eligible employees must participate in that election. The legislation affects private sector workers and unions across the country by raising the threshold for union recognition and requiring higher voter participation rates. The bill would take effect six months after enactment and apply to all elections held after that date. No specific funding is allocated in the bill, as it primarily imposes procedural requirements on the union election process.
