Anti-Worker Framework
Thank You
Empowers Government Interference
- Imposes government-mandated contract terms on employers and employees, stripping away their rights to freely negotiate workplace conditions
- Eviscerates “voluntary agreement,” a primary tenet of U.S. labor law
Restricts First Amendment Rights
- Bans so-called “captive audience meetings” held by employers that give workers and employees the chance to clear the air about union claims
- Prevents businesses from freely discussing the potential negative consequences of government-mandated labor contracts with workers
Mandates
Ambush Elections
- Mandates representation elections be held within 20 business days after a union files a petition, resulting in “backdoor organizing”
- Silences debate on unionization and results in workers being less informed about the pros and cons of union representation before voting
Prohibits Productivity Metrics
- Includes a provision prohibiting employers in the warehousing industry from using productivity metrics
- Hints at plans to regulate ergonomics in the workplace — something a strong bipartisan majority of Congress once invalidated in the first-ever use of the Congressional Review Act
