This bill, titled the "Union Members Right to Know Act," amends the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 to significantly increase transparency requirements for labor organizations. Its primary goal is to ensure union members have ready access to critical information regarding their rights and the agreements that govern their employment. The legislation mandates that unions provide employees directly affected by a collective bargaining agreement with a copy of that agreement, or alternatively, post all such agreements on the union's website annually. Furthermore, unions must furnish all members with a copy of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act itself, along with a summary of its titles, and the union's own constitution and bylaws . These disclosures are required to be made through mail or electronic mail to new members within 30 days of joining and to all members annually. Additionally, unions with a website must maintain a prominent hyperlink on their homepage, titled "Union Member Rights and Officer Responsibilities Under the LMRDA," leading to this essential information. The bill also requires union presidents and treasurers to submit certifications of compliance to the Secretary of Labor, initially for website requirements and then annually for all disclosure mandates.
