The bill changes the Labor Management Relations Act to block neutrality agreements between employers and labor unions. It does this by expanding the definition of a “thing of value” to include organizing assistance, which makes such agreements illegal. The change affects employers, unions, and workers covered by the Act.

Key Provisions

  • Amends Section 302(a) by revising wording from “or deliver” to “provide, or deliver.”
  • Adds a new clause defining “thing of value” to include organizing assistance, thereby prohibiting neutrality agreements.
