Posts - Bill - HR 5408 Faster Labor Contracts Act
house 09/16/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to ensure that once workers choose union representation, their first contract gets negotiated promptly—reducing long delays that currently leave employees waiting too long for fair wages and benefits. This legislation aims to speed up collective bargaining and provide mediation and arbitration to reach agreements faster.
