  • Labor Unionsconfidence 0.95

    Section 2(a) requires secret ballot ratification of collective bargaining agreements, and Section 2(b) requires secret ballot majority vote to authorize strikes, imposing procedural hurdles that increase costs and reduce union flexibility.

  • Teachers Unionsconfidence 0.90

    The bill applies to all labor organizations, including public-sector teacher unions, by amending the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act and National Labor Relations Act, thus imposing the same secret ballot and strike authorization requirements on teachers unions.
