The Nationwide Right To Unionize Act would eliminate the legal authority that currently allows states to pass "right-to-work" laws. Right-to-work laws permit workers to decline union membership even when a union represents their workplace, and workers can choose not to pay union dues. This bill would repeal the federal provision that grants states this power, effectively requiring workers in all states to join unions or pay union fees as a condition of employment in unionized workplaces. The legislation affects all private-sector workers in states with right-to-work laws, as well as employers and unions across those states. The bill, introduced by Senator Elizabeth Warren and 14 other Democratic senators in September 2025, does not specify new funding or implementation timelines beyond the immediate repeal of existing federal authority.
