Workplace Action for a Growing Economy Act or the WAGE Act This bill amends the National Labor Relations Act to require the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to award back pay and additional liquidated damages equal to double the back pay, without any reduction, to any employee against whom an employer has discriminated with regard to hiring or because the employee has filed charges or given testimony or if the employer has committed an unfair labor practice resulting in the employee's discharge or other serious economic loss. Civil penalties are established for violations of posting requirements and any violations causing serious economic loss to employees. Whenever it is charged that an employer has engaged in an unfair labor practice that significantly interferes with, restrains, or coerces employees in the exercise of guaranteed rights and involves discharge or other serious harm to an employee, the preliminary investigation of the charge shall be made forthwith and given priority generally over all other cases. The U.S. district court shall: (1) have jurisdiction to grant injunctive relief or a temporary restraining order to protect the rights guaranteed, and (2) shall grant the relief requested unless the court concludes that there is no reasonable likelihood that the NLRB will succeed on the merits of the NLRB's claim. A person injured by an unfair labor practice may bring a civil action in the appropriate district court. Unauthorized aliens may be paid back pay under a court order directing reinstatement of an employee. In any case where the NLRB finds that an election to determine a collective bargaining representative should be set aside because the employer committed a violation or otherwise interfered with a fair election, it shall issue an order requiring the employer to collectively bargain with the labor organization. The NLRB shall dismiss any petition to represent a unit if in an election a majority of the valid votes cast in an appropriate unit have not been cast in favor of representation by the labor organization. The NLRB shall promulgate regulations requiring each employer to post and maintain, in conspicuous places, a notice setting forth the rights and protections afforded employees under such Act. Each order of the NLRB shall take effect 30 days after notice of an NLRB order is given, unless the NLRB directs otherwise. The NLRB shall apply to the district court in which an unfair labor practice or other subject of the order occurred for the enforcement of an order if any person or entity fails or neglects to obey it.

Re: Proposed Department of Labor (Wage and Hour Division) Rule on Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors (RIN 1235-AA13) Dear Mr. Waterman, We writes to express its support for the U.S. Department of Labors (DOLs) proposed rule implementing Executive Order 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors (the EO or the Order). As an organization dedicated to [FILL IN], we are committed to ensuring that working families have the job and economic security that paid sick days provide and recognizing the benefits to contractors, the government, taxpayers and the economy. Via online submission RE: RIN 1291-AA36 - Implementation of the Nondiscrimination and Equal Opportunity Provisions of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Dear Ms. Barry-Perez: We write to express our strong support for the Department of Labors (DOL) proposal to update the nondiscrimination and equal opportunity regulations implementing Section 188 of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) to align with current law and address its application to current workforce issues. This rule has the potential to increase womens, LGBT persons, and other underrepresented groups access to services, benefits, training, programs, and employment in and through the workforce development system. It also has the potential to ensure that workforce development programs help end-not reinforce-occupational gender segregation and the gender pay gap. We urge you to co-sponsor the Workplace Action for a Growing Economy (WAGE) Act (S. 2042/H.R. 3514). Introduced by Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) and Representative Bobby Scott (D-VA), this important legislation would amend the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) by strengthening protections for working people who organize and promote change through collective action. The WAGE Act would increase protections for all working people and will help open up pathways to equal pay, increased safety in the workplace, and higher wages. The very best way to raise wages and turn the tide back in favor of working people is to protect and strengthen their right to speak out together. We applaud Senator Murray and Representative Scott for their work on this legislation, and urge you to co-sponsor it. Re: Proposed Revision of the Employer Information Report (EEO-1), FR Docket Number 2016-01544, Docket ID EEOC-2016-0002 Dear Ms. Wilson: ISHV supports the Equal Employment Opportunity Commissions (EEOC) proposed revision of the Employer Information Report (EEO-1) to collect pay data from employers. Collecting compensation data through the proposed revision of the EEO-1 will promote the critically important goals of identifying pay discrimination, improving enforcement of pay discrimination laws, and increasing voluntary employer compliance with those laws. Use of a modified version of an existing collection mechanism will also improve coordination between EEOC and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) of the Department of Labor, and avoid costly or burdensome duplication of efforts. We also offer some suggestions for strengthening the proposed revision to ensure achievement of these goals. Support for The Pay Stub Transparency Act Dear Congressman Scott: The undersigned organizations write in enthusiastic support for H.R. 4376, The Pay Stub Transparency Act, which you introduced on January 13, 2016. As you know, wage theft is an epidemic that costs mostly low-wage workers tens of billions of dollars each year in unpaid wages. The legal tools they have at their disposal, be it thinly-resourced departments of labor or private lawsuits, are not available to far too many workers seeking to be properly paid for all of their work. The Pay Stub Transparency Act is an important weapon in the fight against wage theft. As an organization dedicated to eliminating sex discrimination in the workplace and promoting policies that benefit women and working families, we urge you to support the Restoring Statutory Rights and Interests of the States Act of 2016 (Restoring Statutory Rights Act), introduced by Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT). The Restoring Statutory Rights Act would restore the rights of workers to pursue their state and federal law claims and obtain remedies in court rather than forcing arbitration of their claims. For women and all workers, access to courts is critically important to pursue remedies of civil rights violations under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and family and medical leave claims under the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993. The practice of forced arbitration is widespread and damaging. The Honorable Shaun Donovan Director OMB We write to express our support for the Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces Executive Order and to urge you to release the final rule as soon as possible. We are an organization dedicated to eradicating all forms of discrimination in the workplace and promoting good jobs for women. This executive order is the latest in a series of important steps the President has taken to bring the federal contractor community closer to achieving these goals. Employers that have the privilege of doing business with the federal government also have a responsibility to abide by the law. This executive order is crucial to the communities we represent because it helps ensure that federal contractors behave responsibly and ethically with respect to labor standards, civil rights laws and more. The executive order will ensure that companies applying for federal contracts have every incentive to comply with federal labor and employment laws, including for example the Fair Labor Standards Act (which includes the Equal Pay Act), Title VII, and the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and their state law equivalents. This will lead to fairer treatment for workers in the federal contractor workforce and raise awareness among other employers about their legal obligations. The executive order will also ban compulsory arbitration of claims of sexual harassment and sexual assault, which is critical to ensuring that workers can have their day in court. Re: RIN 1205-AB59-Proposed Rulemaking on Apprenticeship Programs; Equal Employment Opportunity Regulations Dear Ms. Gagliardi: We write to express our strong support for the U.S. Department of Labors (DOL) proposal to update the Apprenticeship Programs Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) regulations after nearly forty years. This rulemaking has the ability to significantly impact the participation of women and other underrepresented groups in apprenticeship and the future of these groups in the trades. In the almost four decades since the EEO regulations were last updated, the representation of women in apprenticeships has remained stagnant. While women make up 47% of the workforce, they account for only 6.3% of apprentices. Persistent barriers to entry and advancement of women in these programs lead to this underrepresentation.
