Bill > S2885

This bill, titled the Protecting American Jobs Act, aims to modify the authority of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the government agency responsible for enforcing U.S. labor law in private sector workplaces. Specifically, it seeks to limit the NLRB's rulemaking power to only internal operational matters, preventing it from creating rules that affect the substantive or procedural rights of individuals, employers, or labor organizations, including those related to unfair labor practices (actions that violate labor law) and representation elections. The bill also shifts the process for addressing unfair labor practice allegations, removing the NLRB's authority to issue complaints and prosecute them, and instead allowing aggrieved persons to file civil lawsuits in federal district court for appropriate relief, including injunctions. This change effectively moves the adjudicatory authority for such matters from the NLRB to the federal courts.
