Secret Ballot Votes Required for Union Contracts and Strike Authorization
This bill mandates that union members must use a secret ballot election to approve both new collective bargaining agreements and any decision to authorize a strike. The goal is to increase the democratic control of individual members over major union actions, ensuring that contracts and strikes are supported by a majority of the voting membership. Members must receive the contract text 72 hours before the ratification vote.
