The Faster Labor Contracts Act, which amends the National Labor Relations Act to require employers to begin negotiations with newly certified unions within 10 days of a written request, passed the House on June 9, 2026. Twenty Republicans joined Democrats in support after a discharge petition secured the required signatures. The bill was introduced by Rep. Donald Norcross (D-NJ) and sponsored in the Senate by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO).
