This bill would end state “right-to-work” laws. It removes the part of federal labor law that lets states ban contracts requiring workers to join a union as a condition of employment. If passed, agreements that require union membership could be allowed nationwide, instead of being blocked by certain state laws.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Workers and employers covered by the National Labor Relations Act.
• What changes: Repeals section 14(b) of the NLRA, which currently allows states to prohibit agreements that require union membership as a condition of employment.
• Practical effect: States could no longer ban these union-membership requirements; whether they apply would depend on workplace agreements.
