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 previous labor regulations that may have been altered by the "right-to-work" provisions. The removal of these laws indicates a shift in policy regarding worker affiliation with labor organizations, potentially impacting collective bargaining and union membership dynamics within the state.
