Worker Enfranchisement Act

Bill 119 HR 2572, also known as the Employee Rights Act, aims to amend the National Labor Relations Act to ensure that secret ballots and employee participation are required in the election of representatives. The bill seeks to protect the rights of workers by ensuring that their votes are kept confidential and that they have a say in the selection of their representatives.

Under the proposed legislation, employers would be required to conduct elections for representation using secret ballots, rather than other methods such as card check. This would help to prevent coercion and intimidation in the election process, ensuring that workers are able to freely express their preferences without fear of retaliation.

Additionally, the bill would require that employees have the opportunity to participate in the election of their representatives, ensuring that their voices are heard and their interests are represented. This would help to promote transparency and accountability in the labor relations process, ensuring that workers have a say in decisions that affect their working conditions and rights. Overall, Bill 119 HR 2572 seeks to strengthen the rights of workers by ensuring that their votes are kept confidential and that they have a meaningful role in the election of their representatives. By promoting transparency and accountability in the labor relations process, the bill aims to protect the rights and interests of workers across the country.
