This bill proposes the repeal of several sections of the West Virginia Code, specifically 21-5G-1 through 21-5G-7, which collectively constitute the West Virginia Workplace Freedom Act. The legislation aims to eliminate the "right-to-work" laws established in 2016, which currently allow workers to opt out of joining or paying dues to a labor organization while still benefiting from union representation.
By repealing these sections, the bill seeks to restore the previous legal framework regarding worker affiliation with labor organizations, potentially impacting the dynamics of union membership and collective bargaining in the state. The bill has been introduced and referred to the appropriate legislative committees for further consideration.
