## Summary

**tighten and speed up union elections**. This bill would rewrite the National Labor Relations Act to narrow when union votes can occur, raise vote and turnout thresholds, restrict tactics that delay certification, and ban agreements that block solicitation between unions. - Workers: Would create a 90-day decertification window that begins 60 days after the Board finds a representative is not bargaining in good faith. It also defines an "initial bargaining phase" that limits when recertification or decertification petitions can be filed. - Employers and the NLRB: Would require secret-ballot elections run by the Board and bar certification unless a secret-ballot majority is reached and at least two-thirds of the unit votes. It also limits the Board's ability to delay or dismiss election requests and allows ballots to be impounded for up to 60 days while certain charges are resolved. - Labor organizations: Would ban no-raid agreements that prevent unions from soliciting or representing employees. It also tightens procedures for charges that seek to block elections by requiring an offer of proof and prompt disclosure of witnesses.

## Provisions PRIA read

- Ban on agreements that block unions: benefit, low. If enacted, the bill would make it an unfair labor practice for a union to agree with another union not to solicit or try to represent certain employees. The ban targets agreements that stop one union from competing with another to represent workers. This change aims to increase competition among l…
- Limits on union election petitions: mixed, medium. If enacted, the bill would make the NLRB dismiss petitions filed before a first collective bargaining agreement is in effect after a valid election. After the first contract starts, new petitions would be allowed only when no contract is in effect or during a 90‑day window that runs from 150 days t…
- Secret ballot rules for unions: mixed, medium. If enacted, the bill would require the NLRB to run secret‑ballot elections to certify a union. Certification would only issue if at least two‑thirds of all unit employees cast ballots and a majority of those ballots favor the union. The bill would also delay issuing certifications while certain blo…
- Ballot impoundment rules for elections: mixed, low. If enacted, the bill would let an NLRB regional director impound ballots for up to 60 days in certain elections when specific unfair labor charges are filed. If a formal complaint issues before 60 days end, ballots stay sealed until a final decision. The filer must also provide a short, written off…
- Decertification window after bad faith: mixed, low. If enacted, the bill would create a 90‑day decertification window when the Board finds a union did not bargain in good faith during the initial bargaining phase. That window would start 60 days after the Board’s finding and end 150 days after it. The Board must notify employees at least 45 days bef…
