Union Transparency: Mandatory Disclosure of Member Rights and Financial Options.

This law requires labor unions to regularly inform their members about their fundamental rights under federal law. This means every union member will receive clear summaries regarding options like seeking religious accommodation to avoid paying dues and the right to object to paying fees for non-representational activities. The goal is to ensure employees are fully aware of their legal and financial choices concerning their union membership.

Unions must annually send members (via mail or email) summaries of their employee and union rights.
Members will receive information about the right to seek exemption from paying union dues based on religious beliefs.
Unions must disclose the right to object to paying fees used for activities unrelated to collective bargaining (known as Beck rights).
