Restore T-1/intermediate body transparency; end card check; kill contract bar

Mandate seeks Intermediate Bodies and T-1 trust disclosure restoration, OLMS funding, discarding card-check recognition for secret ballot only, eliminating the contract bar, investigating worker centers as unions, and rescinding persuader rule if revived.

Mandate

Mandate Ch. 18 (Labor) — Union Transparency / Card Check / Contract Bar: enact Intermediate Bodies Rule and restore T-1 Trust Annual Report; expand OLMS funding; Congress should discard card check and mandate secret ballot exclusively; NLRB should eliminate contract bar; investigate worker centers as unions for disclosures; rescind persuader rule if revived.

Undo plan

1) Preserve lawful voluntary recognition and protect workers from coercive anti-union campaigns. 2) Keep contract bar stability for bargaining relationships; reform decert windows transparently rather than eliminating bars. 3) Apply LMRDA disclosure evenly without weaponizing against worker centers engaging in protected advocacy. 4) Avoid persuader-rule extremes while ensuring employees know employer consultants. 5) Verify: election fairness metrics; disclosure filing completeness.
