The House Education and Workforce Committee said Onder introduced H.R. 9636, the Improving CTU Act, to hold union leaders accountable and ensure workers have access to information about how dues are spent. It said the bill would strengthen labor-organization financial-transparency requirements and help ensure timely access to financial information.

Onder introduced H.R. 9636 in the 119th Congress to require labor organizations to include certain audit results in financial reports, directly matching the promised union-dues transparency goal. However, the official record shows the bill was only introduced and referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce, with no passage or enactment as of the adjudication date. This is a serious same-term legislative effort, but it has not delivered the promised strengthened requirements or guaranteed timely worker access.
