This amendment introduced by Rep. David P. Roe (R-Tenn.) to the Protecting the Right to Organize Act of 2019 (H.R. 2474) would have prevented employers from voluntarily recognizing a union that has demonstrated the support of a majority of all employees in a unit. Voluntary recognition has been lawful since before the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) was adopted in 1935. This amendment would have left the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) with no remedy if an employer’s unlawful conduct prevented a fair election. This amendment failed on Feb. 6, 2020, and the Protecting the Right to Organize Act of 2019 passed the House that same day.
