AI Summary
This bill, the Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces Act of 2018, aims to ensure that the federal government's purchasing power is used to raise labor standards, improve working conditions, and strengthen workers' bargaining power. It requires federal contractors and subcontractors to disclose any labor law violations over the past three years, allows for corrective actions based on this information, and establishes Labor Compliance Advisors in each executive agency to promote compliance and consistency across the government. The bill also requires contractors to provide employees with information on their pay, hours, and status as an independent contractor, and limits the use of mandatory arbitration for certain claims. Overall, the bill seeks to increase efficiency and cost savings for the federal government by ensuring contractors comply with labor laws to promote safe, healthy, and productive workplaces.
