S 3600 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Teamwork for Employees and Managers Act of 2024

This bill creates "employee involvement organizations" (EIOs), allowing employers and employees to form voluntary groups to discuss workplace issues like safety, compensation, and benefits - without replacing union representation. It explicitly prohibits EIOs from negotiating contracts, seeking exclusive bargaining rights, or blocking employees from joining unions. For large employers (over $1 billion in revenue or 3,000+ employees), the bill requires formal certification of EIOs, limits dissolution to "cause" after 5 years, and mandates employee-elected representatives with specific eligibility rules. The law preserves existing union rights under the National Labor Relations Act and clarifies that employers won’t face penalties if EIOs fail due to employee fault.
