What is H.R. 4320?

(Updated February 22, 2019)

H.R. 4320 changes how elections that permit employees to vote whether they wish to be represented by a labor union are held.

The bill would mandate that no union election be held in less than 35 days from initial notice and that employers have at least 14 days to prepare a case in relation to the proposed union representation, with no limit on amount of time to prepare. 

Argument in favor

Combats the National Labor Relations Board's activist agenda.

Argument opposed

Hurts employee choice, wage fairness and the middle class.

Impact

The bill impacts employees seeking to be represented by a labor union, employers, and unions.

Cost of H.R. 4320

The CBO estimates the bill would have no significant impact on the federal budget.
