A comprehensive update to labor laws aimed at improving the national workforce landscape was recently proposed by congressional Republicans.
The Employee Rights Act, sponsored by Rep. Rick Allen (R-Ga.) in the U.S. House of Representatives and Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) in the Senate, responds to provisions tucked in the Democrat-led PRO Act. The sponsors argue their legislation promotes innovation, shields workers from certain union demands and would pave the way for greater take-home pay.
