Nationwide Right To Unionize Act

United States119th CongressS-2729Senate
Updated: Sep 4, 2025

Summary

This legislative proposal aims to amend the National Labor Relations Act by repealing a specific subsection. This particular section currently provides states with the authority to enact laws that prohibit agreements requiring employees to join a labor organization or pay dues as a condition of employment. The repeal of this federal provision would effectively invalidate all state-level "right-to-work" laws , which currently prevent such union security agreements. As a result, employers and labor organizations would be permitted to negotiate and enforce contracts that mandate union membership or the payment of union dues for employees, thereby enhancing the bargaining power and financial stability of unions across the United States.
