S.R. 114 Summary

• Urges Hawaii's congressional delegation to oppose any proposed federal right-to-work legislation that would amend the National Labor Relations Act of 1935 and Railway Labor Act of 1926 to ban union security clauses in collective bargaining agreements.

• Argues that right-to-work legislation undermines union membership and organizing by allowing workers to receive representation benefits without paying collective bargaining costs.

• Cites economic research showing wages are 16% lower in right-to-work states, individuals under 65 are 38% more likely to be uninsured, poverty rates are higher, and education spending per student is 32.5% lower compared to non-right-to-work states.

• Directs transmission of certified copies to the President, U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, U.S. House Committee on Education and the Workforce, Hawaii's congressional delegation, and the Hawaii Governor.
