Public employees would get new federal rights to organize and bargain.
This bill would set federal minimum standards for public employees to form unions and negotiate their work conditions. A federal agency would check if state laws meet these standards. If a state's laws fall short, the federal government would step in to ensure these rights are protected.
Today, the rights of public employees to organize and bargain collectively are set by individual state laws, leading to different rules and protections across the country. After this bill, federal minimum standards for these rights would be established. The Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA) would check if each state's laws meet these standards. If a state's laws do not, the FLRA would then administer these collective bargaining rights and procedures for public employees in that state.
