This legislation, known as the National Right-to-Work Act, aims to protect the free choice of individual employees regarding their involvement with labor organizations. It proposes significant amendments to the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) and the Railway Labor Act to achieve this goal. The bill's core purpose is to prevent any agreement from requiring employees to join or financially support a labor organization as a condition of employment. Specifically, the bill eliminates provisions in the NLRA that permitted mandatory union membership or the payment of dues as a condition of retaining employment. It also strikes the Eleventh paragraph of the Railway Labor Act, which authorized similar union security agreements for railroad and airline employees. These amendments would establish a nationwide "right-to-work" standard , applying to all labor agreements entered into or renewed after the bill's enactment.
