Amendment to Prevent Unions from Obtaining Information in Union Elections

Feb. 6, 2020 | H.AMDT. 768 to H.R. 2474

This amendment introduced by Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) to the Protecting the Right to Organize Act of 2019 (H.R. 2474) would have stricken a provision codifying National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) precedent that requires employers to provide employee contact information. The amendment would have seriously hindered unions seeking to represent employees in an election by preventing them from getting all available contact information of eligible voters after the NLRB has ordered that an election take place. It also would have overturned a half-century-old board precedent, upheld by the Supreme Court, holding that simple fairness requires that unions be able to contact eligible voters. This amendment failed on Feb. 6, 2020, and the Protecting the Right to Organize Act of 2019 passed the House that same day.

This is Bad for working people.
