On April 15, ASHA joined the Coalition for a Democratic Workforce (CDW), a group of business and trade associations joined by mutual concern over regulatory overreach, in a letter to Congress in support of the Start Applying Labor Transparency (SALT) Act.

The SALT Act would amend the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA) to require labor organizations to register with the Department of Labor (DOL) their “salts,” or employees who infiltrate other businesses to trigger an organizing campaign. In the letter, CDW explains, “salting is inherently coercive, but, currently, neither unions nor salts are required to disclose their actions, in sharp contrast to the reports employers must file under the LMRDA.” The SALT Act would enhance transparency for employees regarding whom they are working with and what their intentions are.

ASHA will continue to work with CDW, to stop any labor advancements harmful to businesses.
