HR 5351 United States House · 118th Congress

Nationwide Right to Unionize Act

HR 5351, the Nationwide Right to Unionize Act, repeals a federal law (Section 14(b) of the National Labor Relations Act) that currently allows states to enact "right-to-work" laws. This would prevent states from banning agreements requiring workers to pay union dues as a condition of employment, directly affecting workers in states with such laws. The bill's key mechanism is overriding state right-to-work statutes with federal law, ensuring union security agreements remain enforceable nationwide.
