This bill aims to repeal sections 21-5G-1 through 21-5G-7 of West Virginia law, which currently impose limitations on labor unions and weaken collective bargaining. The repealed sections include definitions, individual rights regarding union affiliation, penalties for contracting based on union membership, and provisions for civil relief and exceptions. By removing these sections, the bill seeks to restore the ability of employees and labor organizations to negotiate voluntary agreements that require union membership for employment, thereby ensuring that costs associated with collective bargaining and representation are fairly allocated among workers.

The overarching goal of the bill is to eliminate the state's right-to-work law, which has been criticized for undermining union strength and collective bargaining power. By reinstating the requirement for union membership in workplaces where a union has been elected to represent employees, the bill aims to enhance the bargaining position of labor organizations and promote fair labor practices.
