H.Res. 1140 · Congress

Introduced Mar 26, 2026 · Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
What does this mean?

This isn't the actual labor bill itself — it's a procedural resolution that sets the rules for how the House of Representatives will debate and vote on a separate bill, H.R. 5408. That underlying bill deals with speeding up how quickly workers and employers reach a first contract after workers unionize, under the main federal law governing private-sector union organizing. Because the resolution being described here is only about debate procedure (like how much time each side gets to speak and what amendments are allowed), the official summary doesn't specify what changes the underlying bill would actually make to that process. In short, this particular measure doesn't change any workplace rules itself — it just clears the way for the House to consider the bill that would.
