On November 10, Republicans from the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee announced a slate of labor reform bills aimed at improving the voice, choice, and rights of workers. The bills would amend labor laws, including the National Labor Relations Act and the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959, to revise labor organization election requirements, raise the bar for filing grievances with the National Labor Relations Board, align agency rulings with federal court precedent, and impose stricter transparency rules on unions.

The following can be attributed to CDW Chair Kristen Swearingen:

“The Coalition for a Democratic Workplace thanks Chairman Cassidy and Senators Tuberville, Scott, Blackburn, and Ernst for their sincere efforts to identify and address deficiencies in current labor law to improve the lives of U.S. workers and promote American prosperity.  We look forward to working with the Chairman, engaged Senators, and other stakeholders as these bills move through the legislative process.”
