Workers who vote to form a union deserve a fair first contract, not endless delays and union-busting tactics.

Right now, it takes an average of 465 days to reach a first contract. H.R. 5408, the Faster Labor Contracts Act, would help stop employers from stalling negotiations and ensure workers have a real path to securing the wages, benefits, and protections they fought for.

When workers organize for better wages, safer workplaces, stronger benefits, and a voice on the job, the law should protect that fight not allow companies to run out the clock.

Tell Congress to support H.R. 5408 today!
