Vermont Proposal 3, Right to Collective Bargaining Amendment

Current assessment

Vermont protects chosen collective representation and union-security agreements; wage gains are not established by the constitutional language alone.

What still needs an answer

• Check application of union-security provision against controlling federal law.
• Do you favor protecting agreements that can require represented workers to contribute to union costs, subject to federal limits, alongside the right to bargain collectively?

Source check and limits

Official proposed wording and July28 proclamation checked. Federal-law limits and the precise compelled-association boundary remain relevant.
