   You: Will project 2025 destroy labor unions?

   Yes, Project 2025 includes initiatives that could severely undermine labor unions. The agenda calls for significant reforms to federal labor law that would eliminate the contract bar rule, which currently protects unions from decertification for certain periods. Removing this rule would make it easier for employees to decertify unions, thereby weakening union power within workplaces (as discussed on page 606). Additionally, there are proposals to discard “card check” recognition in favor of a secret ballot system, which would further complicate the unionization process (page 603).

   Moreover, the document advocates for the repeal of the Davis-Bacon Act and the ending of Project Labor Agreements, both of which support unionized labor in federal contracting (page 604). The overall direction of Project 2025 appears to favor reducing the influence and viability of labor unions within the American workforce.
