Union Integrity Act

The Union Integrity Act protects union employees who report labor law violations, testify, file complaints, or object to illegal practices from retaliation by their union. It prohibits unions from terminating or discriminating against these employees and requires the Secretary of Labor to investigate complaints within 60 days, ordering remedies like reinstatement, back pay, and compensation if violations are found. Employees can file complaints within 180 days of retaliation, and the law prevents unions from requiring employees to waive these protections through employment agreements or arbitration. This bill directly affects union employees and unions by strengthening whistleblower safeguards in labor relations.
