No CRS summary available for this bill.
This section requires employers, within two business days of a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB)-directed or -approved representation election under NLRA §9(c), to provide petitioning labor organizations with a voter list containing employees' names and no more than one employee-chosen form of personal contact information (e.g., telephone number, email address, or mailing address) in searchable electronic format (unless the employer certifies lack of capacity); directs the NLRB to issue implementing regulations within nine months of enactment; and makes related violations unfair labor practices for employers (new NLRA §8(a)(6)) and labor organizations (new NLRA §8(b)(8)). (Thus, unions' access to employee contact information is limited compared to current NLRB practice, and unions are prohibited from selling the information, using it for political activism or non-election purposes, or retaining it post-election unless voluntarily provided by the employee.)
