Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
Amends the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act to expand disclosure requirements. Unions must report payments, loans, agreements, or arrangements made to employees or employee groups of an employer (including targeted employer names and facility locations) intended to influence organizing or collective-bargaining activity, and must report agreements and payments to labor-relations consultants.
Progressive fears chilling and worker privacy harms; conservatives emphasize accountability.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill clearly and directly amends the LMRDA to impose additional reporting obligations with specific filing content and timelines and delegates necessary implementing rulemaking to the Secretary of Labor.

Third-party consultants or paid persons who seek employment with a third party to persuade employees or supply employee-activity information must file a 30-day report and yearly financial disclosures.
Technically narrow and administrable, but subject matter is politically sensitive and lacks compromise features, reducing odds of enactment.

These are examples from the analysis, not a ranked list of the most-affected groups.
Progressive fears chilling and worker privacy harms; conservatives emphasize accountability.
Likely skeptical.
While valuing transparency, mainstream progressives would worry the bill risks exposing organizing targets and chilling worker organizing.
They would note the requirement to name targeted employers and facilities could be used by employers against workers.
Cautiously supportive if safeguards are added.
The centrist view sees value in transparency and clearer reporting while wanting to avoid unintended chilling effects, litigation, and excessive administrative costs.
Would look to Department of Labor rules to strike balance.
Generally favorable.
Mainstream conservatives will view the bill as increasing union accountability and exposing paid persuasion and consultant activity.
They will emphasize transparency and enforcement to curb covert influence on third-party employees.
