This legislation would require employers to collectively bargain with newly organized workers within 10 days of voting to form their union.

In the fall of 2024, 10,000 nurses at Corewell Health East in Michigan and 160 Breakthru Beverage drivers in Florida organized with the Teamsters Union and are currently working to secure their first collective bargaining agreements. Teamsters members will join federal lawmakers to share their experience in fighting for a first contract and make the case for passage of the Faster Labor Contracts Act.
