[Q]: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Union Member Protection Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:
(1) Labor unions make significant political contributions
and expenditures that directly or indirectly influence the
election of candidates and support or oppose political causes.
Decisions to use union dues for political contributions and
expenditures are usually made by union leadership and
management, rather than union membership.
(2) Unions, acting through their management, should be
obligated to conduct business in the best interests of their
membership.
(3) Historically, union members have not had a way to know,
or to influence, the political activities of unions that are
supposed to represent them. Union members and the public have a
right to know how unions are spending members' dues to make
political contributions or expenditures benefitting candidates,
political parties, and political causes.
(4) Unions should be accountable to their membership in
making political contributions or expenditures affecting
Federal governance and public policy. Requiring the express
approval of a union's membership for political contributions or
expenditures will establish necessary accountability.

SEC. 3. DISCLOSURE AND APPROVAL OF CERTAIN POLITICAL EXPENDITURES.
