Labor unions in Utah have submitted approximately 320,000 signatures in an effort to repeal House Bill 267, a controversial law passed during the 2025 legislative session that bans collective bargaining for public employee unions. The number of signatures submitted is more than double the required threshold of 140,748 valid signatures across 15 of the 29 state senate districts needed to qualify for the 2026 ballot referendum. The signatures are currently being validated by county clerks, with the final determination expected by June 21. Organizers have delivered multiple loads of signatures, including six deliveries in Salt Lake County alone, demonstrating strong volunteer mobilization across the state to challenge the new labor restrictions.

Here's the first crack on the referendum to repeal the Legislature's anti-union bill: Organizers are submitting more than 320,000 signatures today to try to get the repeal on the ballot in 2026. We won't know for sure if it qualifies until June 21. https://t.co/5hICq3eF7e

This is load No. 6 delivered in Salt Lake County. Organizers say they have gathered about 320,000 signatures statewide. They still need to be validated by clerks. If there are 140,748 valid signatures in 15/29 senate districts the repeal will be on the 2026 ballot. https://t.co/gQDbxGsYNF
