Worker Enfranchisement Act

This bill makes it significantly harder for unions to win certification elections by requiring at least two-thirds of all eligible workers to vote — a turnout threshold far higher than current rules. Workers who don't vote effectively count against the union, since low turnout alone would invalidate the election. Existing union members could also face challenges during decertification or re-certification votes under the same high-turnout standard, potentially weakening organized labor's ability to maintain representation.

“no person shall be an exclusive representative of employees in such unit unless such person has been designated or selected as the exclusive representative of such employees by a majority of the voters in a secret ballot election in which not less than two-thirds of such employees vote”
