Accelerates workplace time-to-contract under the National Labor Relations Act.

The Faster Labor Contracts Act aims to expedite the process of reaching initial collective bargaining agreements following the certification or recognition of a labor organization. It mandates that parties begin collective bargaining within 10 days of a request and sets a 90-day limit for reaching an agreement, with mediation available if needed. The Act also requires the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service to report on the average time between certification and contract signing, and it establishes a three-person arbitration panel to resolve disputes if mediation fails.
