A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT Protecting the right‑to‑work by making it an unenforceable unfair trade practice for any contract to require a contractor or subcontractor to use unionized labor.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

SECTION 1.  Article 1 of Chapter 75 is amended by adding a new section to read:

"§ 75‑43.  Contract provision relating to union membership of contractor's employees is void and unenforceable.

(a)        Any provision in any agreement or contract that would require a contractor or subcontractor to employ union members for performance of an agreement or contract is void and unenforceable as a matter of public policy as set forth in G.S. 95‑78.

(b)        It is an unfair trade practice under G.S. 75‑1.1 to require a contractor or subcontractor to employ union members for performance of an agreement or contract.

(c)        This section applies to agreements or contracts performed in this State.

(d)        This section does not apply to an agreement or contract paid, in whole or in part, with federal funds."

SECTION 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law and applies to agreements or contracts entered into on or after that date.
