Fair Access to Justice for Union Members Act
This bill removes a requirement that union members must first exhaust internal union procedures (including waiting up to four months) before taking legal action against their union or its officers. It directly affects union members who wish to sue their union for grievances or violations of rights. The key change amends the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act to eliminate this pre-litigation step, allowing members to pursue court cases more quickly. The amendment takes effect 18 months after the bill is enacted.
