This bill amends existing Iowa law regarding the rights of employees in relation to labor union membership. It establishes that no individual shall be denied the right to work in their chosen occupation due to their membership in or affiliation with a labor union, while removing previous language that prohibited discrimination based on withdrawal, expulsion, or refusal to join a union. Additionally, the bill makes it unlawful for employers to refuse employment based on an individual's union membership status or their decision to resign from or not join a union.

Furthermore, the bill prohibits any agreements that would exclude individuals from employment based on their union membership status or their refusal to join a union. It also repeals sections that previously required employees to pay union dues or fees as a condition of employment and that allowed employers to deduct union dues from employees' earnings without proper authorization. Overall, the bill aims to enhance employee rights and reduce restrictions related to labor union affiliations.
