Know Your Labor Rights Act
Labor Rights: Required Workplace Posters
The Know Your Labor Rights Act is currently in the early stages of the legislative process. It was recently sent to the House Committee on Education and Workforce for review. There are no upcoming votes scheduled at this time.
Legislative Progress
The bill has support from both Republicans and Democrats, which makes it more likely to move forward. However, labor-related bills often face delays in the Senate even with some bipartisan backing.
Key Points
- This bill would require all employers to display posters that explain workers' rights under federal law. These posters must be put in places where employees usually see notices, like break rooms and company websites.
- The National Labor Relations Board would create the text for these notices and give it to businesses for free. This ensures that every worker gets the same information about their right to organize or join a union.
- Companies would also have to give this information to every new person they hire. This helps workers understand their legal protections from the very first day on the job.
- If a business refuses to post the notice or tell new hires about their rights, they could face a fine. The government could charge the employer up to $500 for each violation.
