Representative Riley Moore, one of the bill's sponsors, says that awareness is critical, especially as union membership has declined in recent years. Individuals have a right to organize, and whether they choose to or not, that's their choice. There is certainly a right to association in this country, and this just ensures that they know that that exists and they have a right to organize. Under the bill, employers who fail to post this information could face a $500 fine. The measure has bipartisan backing, with support from Republicans like Moore and Senator Josh Hawley, as well as Democrats including Senator Maggie Hassan and and Representative Marie Glusenkamp Perez.
