2. Allowing employers to pay higher wages than provided for in a collective bargaining agreement, clarifying joint employment relationships, and preventing federal actions that would cause job losses.
3. Providing new rights for employers regarding the use of employer-issued technology and allowing employees to reject first collective bargaining agreements reached through arbitration.
