What’s happening with Faster Labor Contracts Act?

The House passed H.R. 5408 on June 9, 2026, and the bill now sits with the Senate for review. The Senate must decide whether to hold a vote, but the 60 vote threshold required to advance legislation remains a significant barrier. Historically, many bills that pass the House do not receive a vote in the Senate and fail to become law.
