Nationwide Right to Unionize Act
United States119th CongressHR-5159House of Representatives
Updated: Sep 4, 2025
Summary
The "Nationwide Right to Unionize Act" proposes a significant amendment to federal labor law by repealing a specific provision within the National Labor Relations Act. This legislative action targets subsection (b) of section 14 , which currently grants states the authority to enact laws prohibiting union security agreements. By eliminating this state-level authority, the bill would effectively invalidate existing "right-to-work" laws across the United States. This change would permit employers and labor organizations to negotiate and enforce agreements requiring employees to join a union or pay union dues as a condition of employment in unionized workplaces nationwide, standardizing union security practices.
