flag Virginia Senate bill seeks to repeal 1947 right-to-work law, sparking debate over worker protections and costs.

flag Virginia Senator Jennifer Carroll Foy has introduced Senate Bill 32 to repeal the state’s 1947 right-to-work law, which bars requiring union membership or fees as a job condition. flag The bill, among the first major proposals for the 2026 General Assembly, aims to strengthen worker protections and reduce family costs, though Gov.-elect Abigail Spanberger opposes full repeal. flag Republicans argue the change would raise costs for families and taxpayers, benefiting union leaders over workers. flag The measure has been sent to the Senate Commerce and Labor Committee, while Democrats advance other progressive priorities, including a $15 minimum wage by 2028 and a paid family leave program.
