S. 2984, introduced in the Senate on October 8, 2025, makes sweeping changes to U.S. labor law affecting unions, workers, and employers. The bill requires secret ballots for union elections while barring undocumented immigrants from voting, mandates that employers share employee contact information with unions, and requires workers to renew written consent annually for union dues to fund non-bargaining activities like political causes. It also makes it easier for companies to classify workers as independent contractors rather than employees by focusing on employer control over work details rather than just final results, and shields franchise companies from being held jointly responsible for franchisees' workers simply for enforcing safety or anti-discrimination standards. Additionally, the bill allows employees in right-to-work states to negotiate directly with employers outside union agreements, prohibits unions from including diversity and inclusion provisions in contracts, exempts Indian tribes from labor law coverage, and increases federal penalties for union violence.
