National Right-to-Work Act

This bill, known as the "National Right-to-Work Act," seeks to amend both the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) and the Railway Labor Act (RLA) to establish a nationwide standard protecting employees' choice regarding union membership. Its primary purpose is to prohibit agreements that require employees to join or financially support a labor organization as a condition of employment. Specifically, the bill strikes language from Section 7 and Section 8(a)(3) of the NLRA, which currently permit employers and unions to negotiate union security clauses. These amendments would eliminate the ability for employers to require union membership or the payment of dues as a condition of employment. Furthermore, it removes similar provisions from Section 8(b) and Section 8(f) of the NLRA, and Section 2, paragraph Eleventh, of the RLA, thereby extending these protections to employees in the railway, airline, and construction industries.
