Mandatory Secret Ballot for Union Elections to Protect Workers from Coercion.
This bill mandates that all selections of collective bargaining representatives must occur through a secret ballot election supervised by the government (NLRB). The goal is to protect workers from pressure when deciding on union representation. While setting a one-month deadline for elections, the bill also requires a mandatory pre-election hearing to resolve any legal disputes raised by the employer or the union.
Key points
Union representatives must be selected exclusively via secret ballot elections conducted by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
The NLRB must conduct the election within one month after the petition is filed.
No election can proceed until the Board holds a mandatory hearing and rules on all legal disputes concerning the election or employee eligibility.
