Indiana AFL-CIO

A union election should mark the start of bargaining, not a bad-faith waiting game.

Right now, the NLRB requires employers to bargain in good faith, but sets no deadline for the bargaining to begin. For years, companies have exploited this fact to drag out negotiations, stalling the process of securing a first contract by an average of 458 days.

The Faster Labor Contracts Act, which passed the House this week, closes that loophole by requiring employers to begin negotiations within 10 days of a successful union election!

Thank you to Representatives Donald Norcross and Pete Stauber for standing up for workers and championing this critical legislation.
