This resolution asks the federal government to eliminate the requirement that construction contractors on federal projects (like those at Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota) must sign union agreements. South Dakota argues this federal requirement conflicts with the state's right-to-work law, which allows workers to choose whether or not to join a labor organization.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
