华盛顿讯 —— 众议院民主党人在数名共和党议员的协助下,于周二绕过共和党领导层,成功推动一项法案通过表决。该法案将加快新成立工会的首份集体谈判协议的谈判进程。

这项名为《更快劳工合同法案》的法案于去年9月由新泽西州民主党众议员唐纳德·诺里斯提出。最终以230票赞成、193票反对的结果获得通过,其中有20名共和党议员投了赞成票。

诺里斯于4月下旬发起了一项 discharge 请愿(注:即绕过领导层的请愿动议),旨在将该法案提交全院表决。这项程序性手段允许议员在获得多数支持——即218个联名签名——的情况下,绕过领导层强制全院就法案进行投票。该请愿在一个月内就达到了签名门槛,共有7名共和党议员参与联名。

诺里斯的这项请愿是本届国会第七项达到签名门槛的类似动议,这反映出议员们对共和党领导层的不满情绪。

该法案将修订《国家劳资关系法》,要求雇主在收到书面请求后的10天内,与新获认证的工会启动合同谈判。法案还规定了调解的时间线,并明确了90天后仍未达成协议时的后续步骤。

“目前,雇主可以将首份合同的谈判拖延数年,”诺里斯在4月的一份声明中表示,并补充道他的法案“将迫使雇主秉持诚意,快速坐到谈判桌前”。

在法案辩论期间,密歇根州共和党众议员蒂姆·瓦尔伯格辩称,该法案将快速推进“政府对私人工作场所的干预”,并比以往任何时候都更快地“侵蚀工人权利”。

“这是最新一次试图将工人置于联邦官僚的掌控之下,”瓦尔伯格在谈及法案中规定的仲裁程序时说道。

目前尚不清楚参议院是否会审议该法案。密苏里州共和党参议员乔希·霍利于2025年3月在参议院提出了一项配套法案,目前有2名共和党议员和13名民主党议员联名支持。

Washington — House Democrats, with the help of several Republicans, bypassed GOP leadership on Tuesday to force a successful vote on legislation that would accelerate negotiations on newly-formed unions’ first collective bargaining agreements.

The legislation, titled the Faster Labor Contracts Act, was introduced in September by Democratic Rep. Donald Norcross of New Jersey. It passed in a 230 to 193 vote, with 20 Republicans voting in favor.

In late April, Norcross launched a discharge petition, seeking to bring the bill to the floor. The procedural maneuver allows members to circumvent leadership and force a floor vote on legislation if they secure a majority support — 218 signatures. The petition hit the threshold within a month, with seven Republicans signing on.

Norcross’ discharge petition is the seventh this session to hit the threshold, a sign of discontent with GOP leadership.

The measure would amend the National Labor Relations Act and require employers to begin contract negotiations with newly-certified unions within 10 days of receiving a written request. It also sets a timeline for mediation and lays out next steps if no agreement is reached after 90 days.

“Right now, employers can delay negotiations on first contracts for years,” Norcross said in a statement in April, adding that his bill “will force employers to act in good faith and come to the negotiating table quickly.”

During debate on the bill, GOP Rep. Tim Walberg of Michigan argued the measure would fast-track “government intrusion into private workplaces” and erode “workers’ rights faster than we have ever seen before.”

“It is the latest attempt to put workers under the thumb of the federal bureaucrats,” Walberg said, referring to the arbitration process laid out in the bill.

It’s unclear whether the Senate will take it up. Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri introduced a companion bill in the Senate in March 2025 that has two Republican and 13 Democratic cosponsors.
