National Right-to-Work Act
This bill repeals those provisions of the National Labor Relations Act and the Railway Labor Act that permit employers to make an agreement with a labor union to require employees to join such union as a condition of employment.
Currently, at least 27 states have enacted laws prohibiting employers from compelling employees to become members of a union as a condition of employment.
To preserve and protect the free choice of individual employees to 
  form, join, or assist labor organizations, or to refrain from such 
                              activities.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``National Right-to-Work Act''.
