Bill Summary

A BILL To clarify the rights of Indians and Indian Tribes on Indian lands under the National Labor Relations Act.

AI Summary

This bill, the Tribal Labor Sovereignty Act of 2022, aims to clarify the rights of Indian Tribes and their enterprises on Indian lands under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). The bill amends the NLRA to exclude Indian Tribes, their enterprises, and their members from the definition of "employer", effectively exempting them from the NLRA's provisions. This change would grant Indian Tribes more sovereignty over labor relations on their own lands, which are defined to include reservation lands, trust lands, and certain lands in Oklahoma. The bill is intended to provide Indian Tribes with greater autonomy in managing labor issues within their own communities and economic enterprises.
