Worker Privacy Act
Sponsored By: Senator Scott, Tim [R-SC]
Introduced
Summary
Worker privacy in union representation elections would be strengthened by new rules on employer voter lists and strict limits on how labor organizations can use employee contact information. This bill would narrow what personal data unions get and when they can use it.
Show full summary
- Employees: Workers would see limits on what contact information is shared. Employers could provide at most one contact method per employee and only if the employee gave it in writing.
- Labor organizations: Unions would be barred from selling or using employer‑supplied personal information for political activity or for any purpose outside a representation proceeding. They could keep using information employees give them voluntarily.
- Employers: Companies would have to give petitioning unions a searchable electronic voter list within two business days after an election is directed or approved, unless they certify they cannot produce that format.
- Regulators and enforcement: The National Labor Relations Board would have nine months to write rules implementing the change and violating the new list rule would be an unfair labor practice for purposes of enforcement.

New voter list rules for workers
If enacted, the bill would require employers to give each union that petitions your bargaining unit a voter list within two business days after the NLRB orders or agrees to an election. The list would include every employee name and at most one contact per employee (phone, email, or mailing address) that the employee chose in writing. The list must be a searchable electronic file approved by the Board unless the employer certifies it cannot produce that format. The Board would have nine months to write rules. Breaking the rule would be an unfair labor practice. Unions would be banned from selling or using employer-provided voter information for political activity or for any purpose after the representation proceeding ends. Unions could still use information employees give them directly.
