On August 2, Representative Tim Walberg introduced the Worker Enfranchisement Act, which would require a two-thirds participation rate in union representation elections.

The following can be attributed to CDW Chair Kristen Swearingen:

“The Worker Enfranchisement Act would ensure that workers actually support a union before thrusting union representation on a workforce. Requiring high participation rates in representation elections guarantees that the wishes of the workers are actually heard and enacted. CDW thanks Representative Walberg for leading on this issue and urges Congress to pass this much-needed legislation.”
