The Worker Privacy Act amends federal labor law to regulate how employee contact information is shared during union election campaigns. When the National Labor Relations Board directs a union election, employers must provide labor organizations with a voter list containing employee names and one form of contact information (phone, email, or address) that each worker has voluntarily chosen, in an electronic searchable format within two business days. The bill protects this information by making it an unfair labor practice for unions to sell the data to third parties, use it for purposes beyond union representation, or retain it after an election concludes—though unions may still use information that workers voluntarily share directly with them. The National Labor Relations Board has nine months from the bill's enactment to write implementing regulations. The legislation affects employers, unions, and workers involved in union organizing campaigns, balancing union organizing rights with worker privacy protections.
