Washington (September 8, 2022) — Senator Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) joined Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Representative Brad Sherman (D-Calif.) as the two lawmakers today reintroduced the Nationwide Right to Unionize Act, legislation that would support the right to unionize by prohibiting states from banning union security agreements through “right-to-work” laws.
Twenty-seven states have enacted “right-to-work” laws that prevent unions from collecting dues from non-union members who are covered under a union-negotiated contract. These laws make it more difficult for workers to form unions and fight . . .
