The Worker RESULTS Act modifies the National Labor Relations Act to change how labor union elections and certifications work. The bill requires all union representation elections to use secret ballots and imposes a two-thirds voter turnout requirement for certification. It restricts the National Labor Relations Board's ability to bar or delay elections, while also creating new "decertification windows" that allow workers to challenge union representation if the union is not bargaining in good faith during initial negotiations, and during specified 90-day periods before contract expirations. Additionally, the bill prohibits labor unions from entering into agreements with other unions to avoid competing for the same workers, treats this as an unfair labor practice, and prevents the Board from using various procedural tools—such as settlement bars or blocking charges—to postpone union elections. The legislation has no specific funding amounts or implementation timeline specified, but would apply immediately upon passage to all labor union elections and disputes governed by the National Labor Relations Act, affecting millions of workers and hundreds of thousands of employers nationwide.
