Protecting the Right to Organize Act of 20 21 This bill expands various labor protections related to employees' rights to organize and collectively bargain in the workplace. Among other things, it revises the definitions of employee , supervisor , and employer to broaden the scope of individuals covered by the fair labor standards; permits labor organizations to encourage participation of union members in strikes initiated by employees represented by a different labor organization (i.e., secondary strikes); and prohibits employers from bringing claims against unions that conduct such secondary strikes. The bill also allows collective bargaining agreements to require all employees represented by the bargaining unit to contribute fees to the labor organization for the cost of such representation, notwithstanding a state law to the contrary; and expands unfair labor practices to include prohibitions against replacement of, or discrimination against, workers who participate in strikes. The bill makes it an unfair labor practice to require or coerce employees to attend employer meetings designed to discourage union membership and prohibits employers from entering into agreements with employees under which employees waive the right to pursue or a join collective or class-action litigation. Finally, the bill addresses the procedures for union representation elections, modifies the protections against unfair labor practices that result in serious economic harm, and establishes penalties and permits injunctive relief against entities that fail to comply with National Labor Relations Board orders.

NACD advocated in favor of the House, Senate, and joint resolutions to avoid a rail labor strike that passed both Chambers. Specifically, advocated in support of 1) H.J.Res.100 that provides for a resolution with respect to the unresolved disputes between certain railroads represented by the National Carriers' Conference Committee of the National Railway Labor Conference and certain of their employees, and S.J.Res.61 a joint resolution requires the parties to the disputes between certain railroads and labor organizations to accept the recommendations in the report of the Presidential Emergency Board Numbered 250 that was issued on August 16, 2022, with respect to any such disputes that remain unresolved by 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on September 16, 2022. Additionally, NACD advocated for a separate amendment to the resolution, H.Con.Res.119, which would grant workers seven paid sick days. Specifically, it was a concurrent resolution that would provide for seven days of sick leave for railroad employees under the terms of the most recent tentative agreements, side letters, and local carrier agreements entered into by the parties to the disputes between certain railroads and labor organizations. The resolution that guaranteed seven paid sick days for rail workers, which passed the U.S. House of Representatives, could not overcome the filibuster in the U.S. Senate despite receiving bipartisan support. Additionally, NACD advocated regarding NACDs support for including additional paid sick days in any legislated rail labor agreement. NACD advocates in opposition to the companion legislation S.420/H.R.842 - Protecting the Right to Organize Act of 2021. The PRO Act passed the House in March of this year but has not moved forward in the Senate. Provisions in the PRO Act would force employers to provide their employees' personal information to labor groups without employee consent, infringe upon a worker's right to a secret ballot in union elections, and take away a worker's ability to work independently, especially in those working in the gig economy. NACD advocated against the inclusion of elements of the PRO Act in several pieces of legislation. Legislation that serves, as a solution to the Multiemployer Pension Solvency Crisis, creating a new administration within the Treasury Department to issue loans to plans with (a) critical and declining, (b) critical, or (c) insolvent status. While generally supporting an immediate resolution of the crisis as well as moving the debate to the Senate, NACD is in opposition to bills that do not address underlying structural issues impacting Multi-employer pensions. Legislation that would bring the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) into the 21st century by updating the definition of employee, conforming the definition of employee with other New Deal era statutes that already apply a common-law definition for the term, and reconciling the FLSA with more recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions. Legislation that would (a) force companies to turn over personally identifying information such as addresses, contact information, and shift information on employees to unions, (b) shorten the amount of time businesses would have to prepare for union certifying elections (c) modify the tests for independent-contractor and joint-employer to definitions not consistent with current employment trends, and make many other changes to labor and employment law that would be better debated individually. NACD is in opposition to this bill.
