## Summary

**Increases transparency and enforces union neutrality in federal vehicle procurement.** This bill would require plant-level disclosures from bidders on motor vehicle assembly contracts and would condition Postal Service delivery-vehicle purchases on a union-neutrality commitment by Oshkosh Defense. - Workers and labor organizations: Would force bidders to disclose plant-level wage ranges, counts of temporary workers, and any National Labor Relations Act or Occupational Safety and Health Administration violations. Awardees would have to keep an explicit neutrality policy and notify directly affected labor organizations when certain plant-change requests are made. - Motor vehicle assembly employers and bidders: Would have to provide each plant's mailing address and describe what is made there. They would also need to supply average, minimum, and maximum hourly wages per plant and seek written agency permission before changing the plant that assembles contract vehicles. - Federal procurement and the Postal Service: Would require agencies to include the disclosed information in covered contracts. No federal funds could be spent on Postal delivery vehicles unless Oshkosh Defense agrees that complying with a bona fide union neutrality agreement matters to government payment decisions and certifies it will execute and follow such an agreement covering production employees.

## Provisions PRIA read
