The Union Auto Workers Job Protection Act requires federal agencies to collect detailed information from companies bidding on vehicle contracts, including where vehicles are assembled, worker wage data, the number of temporary employees, and any labor law violations at their plants. Companies winning federal vehicle contracts must disclose this same information upfront and notify labor unions if they plan to shift production to a different plant, while also committing to remain neutral on unionization efforts at plants covered by the contract. The bill also prohibits the U.S. Postal Service from spending federal funds on delivery vehicles from contractor Oshkosh Defense unless the company agrees to a union neutrality agreement and certifies it will comply with that agreement for all production workers on the contract. The legislation aims to ensure that federal vehicle purchases support plants with fair labor standards and protect workers' rights to organize.
