Constitutional Collective Bargaining Rights
RESOLVED by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, two thirds of both Houses concurring, that the following article be proposed to the Legislatures of the several States, as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which article, when ratified by three fourths of the said Legislatures, to be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of the said Constitution; viz. Congress shall make no law restricting the right of the people to establish, maintain, or be obedient to collective mutual bargaining in unions, coalition, consolidation, unification, unity, or movement of any group whatoever. And this so that the people's rights to collective bargaining are more firmly established. As Ronald Reagan asked us to remember the Solidarity movement of Poland, he said, "They remind us that where free unions and collective bargaining are forbidden, freedom is lost."
