Worker RESULTS Act

Summary

Limits when employees or others can file decertification or representation petitions after a union wins an election and after a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) takes effect. It defines an “initial collective bargaining” phase between the election and the start of the first CBA, directs the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to dismiss certain pre‑CBA petitions, authorizes the Board to act if a certified representative fails to bargain in good faith during the initial phase, and creates recurring, time‑limited windows during which new petitions may be filed after a CBA. Also makes minor textual edits to existing NLRA election provisions (adding subparagraph lettering and punctuation) and adds narrow safe‑harbor language clarifying certain communications about employee rights are not unfair labor practices; no new funding or effective date is specified.

• Creates an "initial collective bargaining phase" from election to the day before the first CBA takes effect and gives the NLRB authority to act if the representative fails to bargain in good faith.
• Directs the Board to dismiss pre‑CBA petitions when a valid representation election has already selected a representative.
• Bars most post‑agreement decertification/representation petitions except when no CBA is in effect or during a limited recurring window.
• Establishes a 90‑day petition window (ordinary employers) that begins 150 days and ends 60 days before the last day of each 2‑year period after the first CBA; health care institutions get a window beginning 180 days and ending 60 days.
• Adds textual relettering and narrow punctuation edits to NLRA election provisions (technical changes to statute language).
• Adds a limited safe‑harbor clarifying certain communications about employee rights are not unfair labor practices.
• Does not specify an effective date or provide new funding.
• Affects timing and procedure for union elections and decertification challenges, without creating new collective bargaining duties beyond those already in law.
