The proposed Labour Relations Act requires annual financial disclosures and named compensation for officers earning 50 000 or more, with penalties including stopping dues remittance if filings are not made. It includes a political dues check, secret ballots in certification within seven working days if 40 percent support is shown, and aims to curb union influence while boosting employee accountability.
