Support S.J. Res 49 and H.J. Res. 98 resolutions to overturn Department of Labor Joint Employer Rule. Support S.J. Res 63 and H.J. Res. 116 resolutions to overturn Department of Labor Independent Contractor Rule. Support S. 1201/H.R. 2700, the Employee Rights Act, which would modernize our nations labor policies to match the needs of the 21st century worker and workforce by promoting growth and innovation, ensuring that our laws protect workers rather than union bosses, and allowing Americans to take home more of the money they earn. Support S. 991, the National Labor Relations Board Reform Act, which would end the partisanship by the NLRB by increasing the number of Board members from five to six evenly split between republicans and democrats; imposing new term limits for Board members; require four Board members to approve all decisions; restrain the NLRBs General Counsel and encourage quick resolution of cases before the Board. Support H.R. 1163/S. 1587, the Protecting Taxpayers and Victims of Unemployment Fraud Act, which would address fraud and overpayments of pandemic unemployment insurance benefits, including by providing incentives for states to investigate and recover overpayments of these benefits. Oppose renomination of Lauren McFerran to the National Labor Relations Board.

Res. 116 resolutions to overturn Department of Labor Independent Contractor Rule. Support S. 1201/H.R. 2700, the Employee Rights Act, which would modernize our nations labor policies to match the needs of the 21st century worker and workforce by promoting growth and innovation, ensuring that our laws protect workers rather than union bosses, and allowing Americans to take home more of the money they earn. Support S. 991, the National Labor Relations Board Reform Act, which would end the partisanship by the NLRB by increasing the number of Board members from five to six evenly split between republicans and democrats; imposing new term limits for Board members; require four Board members to approve all decisions; restrain the NLRBs General Counsel and encourage quick resolution of cases before the Board. Support H.R. 1163/S. 1587, the Protecting Taxpayers and Victims of Unemployment Fraud Act, which would address fraud and overpayments of pandemic unemployment insurance benefits, including by providing incentives for states to investigate and recover overpayments of these benefits.

As part of the Jobs & Career Coalition, CIRT expressed strong support for H.R. 6655 A Stronger Workforce for America Act. CIRT/coalition of business organizations urged delay of the filing deadlines in the Corporate Transparency Act, by passing S.3625 The Protect Small Business and Prevent Illicit Financial Activity Act. CIRT / Coalition voiced strong concers regarding OSHA's proposed rulemaking on "Worker Walkaround Representative Designation Process" that seeks to change long-standing bi-partisan interpretations of who can be designated. CIRT opposes the DOL's proposed Davis-Bacon Act reforms - which do not appear to modernize, streamline, or clarify the confusing set of rules, but go back to failed approaches from decades ago. CIRT strongly supports introduction of the Fair and Open Competition Act in Congress as proposed by Sen. Todd Young and Rep. James Comer. CIRT expressed concern over EEOCs characterization and highlighting as part of its Strategic Enforcement Plan the construction as an industry of concern for discrimination and lack of diversity. CIRT/Coalition called upon Congress to use the Congressional Review Act to nullify the NLRB's Final Rule on Joint-Employer Status. CIRT strongly supports passage of three bills that seek to curb the rogue NLRB's powers: Employee rights Act (H.R. 2700); Modern Worker Empowerment (H.R. 5513); and Save Local Business Act (H.R.2826).
