PURE Act

Sponsored By: Representative Fine, Randy [R-FL-6]

Introduced

Summary

Requires secret-ballot elections of members for certain union officers, removing delegate and representative alternatives. The Protecting Union Representation and Elections Act would amend Section 401 of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act to make member secret ballots the sole method for electing specified union officers. It strikes language that allowed conventions of delegates or officers acting as member representatives to select officers. The rule would take effect 18 months after enactment and be enforced under the law's existing mechanisms.
