Repealing Workplace Freedom Act
SB 636, introduced by Senator Garcia on February 28, 2025, repeals West Virginia's 2016 "Workplace Freedom Act" (specifically Code sections §21-5G-1 through §21-5G-7). This bill would restore pre-2016 requirements allowing unions to collect mandatory dues from workers. It directly affects workers and labor organizations in West Virginia by reversing the 2016 law that prohibited such dues. The bill's sole mechanism is the removal of the existing statutory provisions, with no new provisions added.
