The “Faster Labor Contracts Act” would make it easier for left wing labor unions to impose their pro-abortion politics on the workplace:
“The model language the AFL-CIO recommends to local chapters says ‘all health plans offered to bargaining unit members shall cover comprehensive . . . reproductive healthcare services, including contraceptives, abortion services . . . and gender affirming care.’”
“In 2012 the Service Employees International Union unanimously approved a resolution ‘calling on local unions to bargain for trans-inclusive healthcare.’”
Letting government appointed arbitrators get involved would only make contract provisions like these more common.
Republicans think they’re burnishing their populist credentials, but they’re selling out their constituents to the progressive left.

Josh Hawley’s Faster Labor Contracts Act is just a modern rewrite of the Obama-era Employee Free Choice Act, which not even a 60-seat Dem majority wanted to touch.
To understand FLCA, you have to understand EFCA. 🧵
What actually happened:
20 of the least conservative House Republicans voted with all Democrats to advance legislation backed by Big Labor and first pushed under Obama to empower an agency that Trump slashed to force union contracts on workplaces.
"[A government] arbitrated deal will almost always vindicate workers' interests better than no deal."
I.e., the government can reliably write labor terms that are better than the status quo. An article of faith for the New Right is that government failures hardly ever happen.

"President Donald Trump’s nominations for the National Labor Relations Board will have their confirmation hearings on Wednesday. Confirming them will allow the NLRB to catch up on over a year’s worth of lost time."

The Faster Labor Contracts Act is a bad bill that empowers government arbitrators over workers and businesses. That's why @AmericanFreedom and our allies are opposing it.

����Conservatives are sounding the alarm on the Faster Labor Contracts Act.
AAF’s letter explains why giving the power to impose labor terms on private sector businesses is bad for workers and employers alike.
Ahead of tomorrow's vote on the Faster Labor Contracts Act, the Teamsters have resorted to straight-up lying to members of Congress in their "Field Briefing"🧵
The median "bargaining unit" in union elections in 2025 was just 20 workers. Most unions were formed among very small groups of employees. Some of these units are subsets of bigger businesses, but many are not. The FLCA gives arbitrators power over every one of them.
Once again, Dems got a handful of Republicans to help them add language to the NDAA that would reverse a Trump Executive Order and bring back government unions to the DoD.
Government unions shouldn't exist anywhere, but especially not where they threaten national security.
Civilian employees break their backs to get America's servicemembers the resources they need to keep us safe.
I'm fighting like hell to reverse President Trump's efforts to strip those workers of their collective bargaining rights, and I'm grateful that the Armed Services committee approved my amendment to the NDAA last night in a bipartisan vote.
This week @AmericanFreedom and 28 coalition allies sent a letter to Congress opposing the so-called Faster Labor Contracts Act.
The House is expected to vote on the bill next week after a discharge petition reached 218 signatures.
