Protecting Workers from Coercion Act
This bill amends the National Labor Relations Act to change how union representation elections are conducted. It requires workers to be selected for collective bargaining through secret ballot elections overseen by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), rather than being "designated or selected" as currently allowed. The bill also mandates that the NLRB must hold a hearing and rule on disputes about worker eligibility or election legality before any vote can occur, delaying elections until these issues are resolved. This directly affects workers seeking union representation and employers challenging election procedures. The key change is requiring NLRB review of election disputes before voting, aiming to prevent delays caused by legal challenges.
