Bill Summary
Tribal Labor Sovereignty Act of 2017 (Sec. 2) This bill amends the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) to exclude Native American tribes and tribal enterprises and institutions on tribal land from requirements for employers under the NLRA. (Currently under the NLRA, employers may not engage in unfair labor practices and must allow employees to form unions, engage in collective bargaining, and take collective action.)
AI Summary
This bill amends the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) to exclude Native American tribes, tribal enterprises, and institutions located on tribal lands from the NLRA's requirements for employers. Specifically, it defines "Indian tribe" as any recognized group or community eligible for special programs and services due to their status as Indians, and "Indian lands" as lands within an Indian reservation, held in trust for an Indian tribe or individual, or within the boundaries of a former reservation in Oklahoma. By excluding these entities from the NLRA, the bill aims to clarify the rights of Indians and Indian tribes on their own lands.
