Summary
The Faster Labor Contracts Act amends the National Labor Relations Act to accelerate the negotiation of initial collective bargaining agreements following union certification or recognition. The bill requires employers to begin bargaining within 10 days of a union's written request and establishes a timeline: if no agreement is reached within 90 days, either party may request mediation; if mediation fails within 30 days, the dispute goes to binding arbitration by a three-person panel. The arbitration decision, based on factors including employer finances, employee cost of living, and comparable wages in the industry, is binding for two years. The bill also requires a Government Accountability Office report on average time-to-contract within one year of enactment.
