Bill Summary

Protecting Jobs From Government Interference Act - Amends the National Labor Relations Act to deny the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) any power to: (1) order an employer (or seek an order against an employer) to restore or reinstate any work, product, production line, or equipment; (2) rescind any relocation, transfer, subcontracting, outsourcing, or other change regarding the location, entity, or employer who shall be engaged in production or other business operations; or (3) require any employer to make an initial or additional investment at a particular plant, facility, or location. Applies the amendment made by this Act to any complaint for which a final adjudication by the NLRB has not been made by the date of enactment.

AI Summary

This bill, titled the Protecting Jobs From Government Interference Act, amends the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) to significantly limit the powers of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), an independent federal agency responsible for enforcing U.S. labor law in the private sector. Specifically, the bill prohibits the NLRB from ordering or seeking orders against employers to: restore or bring back any work, product, production line, or equipment; cancel any decisions to move operations elsewhere, subcontract work, outsource, or make other changes to where or by whom business operations are conducted; or force an employer to make new or additional investments at a specific factory, facility, or location. These changes are intended to prevent government interference in business decisions regarding job locations and operations, and they will apply to any ongoing NLRB cases that have not yet reached a final decision by the time the bill becomes law.
