Committee
Latest Action · July 11, 2024
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
This bill would significantly restrict the authority of the National Labor Relations Board, the federal agency responsible for enforcing labor laws. The legislation limits the NLRB's rulemaking power to only internal functions, preventing it from creating rules that affect workers' rights, employer obligations, labor unions, or election procedures. The bill also shifts enforcement of unfair labor practices from the NLRB's administrative process to federal civil courts, meaning workers or unions would need to file lawsuits rather than file charges with the agency. Within six months of the law's enactment, the NLRB would be required to review and eliminate any existing regulations that conflict with these new restrictions. Overall, the bill would substantially reduce the NLRB's regulatory and enforcement capacity, affecting millions of workers, employers, and labor organizations across the country.
