When workers form a new union, this bill sets strict deadlines for hammering out their first contract with the employer: bargaining must start within 10 days, and if there's no deal after 90 days, either side can call in federal mediators (government-provided negotiators who help both sides find common ground) to help. If that mediation doesn't work within another 30 days, an arbitration panel (an independent group that reviews both sides' arguments and finances) steps in to make a binding decision, locking in a contract for two years. While all this is happening, the employer has to keep employees' pay, hours, and working conditions the same, and must keep bargaining even if the union later loses its official certification.
