The Faster Labor Contracts Act aims to expedite the process of reaching initial collective bargaining agreements following the certification of a labor organization. It introduces specific timelines for negotiation, mediation, and arbitration, and mandates a GAO report on time-to-contract metrics. The bill is focused on improving labor relations efficiency but lacks detailed fiscal analysis and oversight mechanisms.

How the methodology works →

The Quiet Ledger grades legislation on its content. A bill grade is analysis of the bill — not a grade of its sponsor or of any member who voted on it.
