Worker Enfranchisement Act

The Worker Enfranchisement Act (HR 2572) changes how unions gain exclusive representation rights under labor law. It requires that a union must be chosen by at least two-thirds of all eligible employees voting in a secret ballot election, rather than a simple majority. This applies to all new union representation elections occurring six months after the bill becomes law. The change directly affects workers and unions by raising the threshold for establishing a union as the sole bargaining representative.
