Here is Elizabeth Warren's Bill To Ban Right-to-Work States
It's less than two pages, but has far reaching ramifications.
QUICK FACTS:
On Thursday, Democrats Sen. Elizabeth Warren (MA) and Rep. Bobby Sherman (CA) introduced the “Nationwide Right to Unionize Act.”
Though unlikely to pass before the mid-term elections, were it to pass eventually, it would eliminate 27 states’ “right to work” laws and enable unions to require payments as a condition of employment from workers in unionized workplaces in all 50 states.
Both President Biden and Vice President Harris have publicly stated they would like to ban “Right-to-Work” laws
State Right-to-Work laws have been in existence since 1947, when the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) was amended by the “Taft-Hartley Act,” and only applies to those employees in workplaces covered by the NLRA.
As of the 2018, due to the U.S. Supreme Court’s Janus v. AFSCME decision, employees in the public sector cannot be required as a condition of employment to make payments to unions.
On the other hand, unionized employees in the private-sector airline and railroad industries—which are under the Railway Labor Act—can be compelled to pay union fees as a condition of employment regardless whether they live in a Right-to-Work state.
