Repeal WV Right to Work

Summary

HB 5542 would eliminate the state’s right‑to‑work statutes, removing sections that prevent unions from requiring membership. The change would let labor organizations and employers negotiate agreements that make union membership a condition of employment when other workers at the same job are represented by a union. This shift could increase union density and alter collective‑bargaining dynamics in West Virginia.
