Stauber, Norcross, Labor Leaders to Host Press Conference to Introduce Faster Labor Contracts Act
WASHINGTON, DC – On Tuesday, Representatives Pete Stauber (R-MN) and Donald Norcross (D-NJ) will join the International Brotherhood of Teamsters to announce the introduction of the Faster Labor Contracts Act. The Faster Labor Contracts Act is a bipartisan bill aimed to speed up the process of the first collective bargaining agreement between a newly unionized group of workers and their employer.
According to Bloomberg Law, it takes an average of 458 days for unions and employers to agree on a first contract. This bipartisan legislation will ensure that when workers vote to form a union, employers are not allowed to drag out negotiations on first contracts.
