It is
time we reform our labor laws to put employees’ rights first, not
self-interested labor union leaders. Now is the time for the Employee Rights
Act.
The
legislation would:
§ Secret Ballot
Elections — Guarantee employees the right to a secret ballot
election when choosing whether or not to join a union.
§ Union
Recertification Elections — Require that all unionized
workplaces hold a secret ballot referendum every three years to determine
whether the employees wish to remain represented by their current union.
§ Paycheck
Protection — Give employees the right to refuse
support for a unions’ political operations or support of political parties or
candidates.
§ Standardized
Election Timing — Require unions and employers to give
employees a minimum of 40 days to hear from both sides when deciding whether or
not to join a union.
§ Decertification
Coercion Prevention — Strengthen the National Labor
Relations Act to prohibit unions from intimidating or coercing employees from
exercising their rights, including their right to decertify the union.
§ Secret Ballot
Strike Vote — Give employees the right to a secret ballot
vote before union leaders can declare a strike.
§ Criminalizes
Union Threats — Forbid unions from using violence, or
threats thereof, in an effort to coerce employees.
