EDA expresses its opposition to the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act (H.R. 842/S. 420). The PRO Act would drastically restructure Americas labor laws resulting in economic upheaval that would cost millions of American jobs, threaten vital supply chains, and greatly diminish opportunities for entrepreneurs and small businesses. The bills attempts to achieve its primary objectives of increasing union density and union leverage at the bargaining table without regard for the negative impacts the legislation would have on workers, businesses, and the economy.

EDA supports efforts to modernize grant funding programs so that federal education dollars are spent on educating the workforce of tomorrow and remediating the United States' existing skills gap. S.839/H.R.3497, The Jumpstart our Businesses by Supporting Students Act JOBS Act), and S.1517/H.R. 2831 the Building U.S. Infrastructure by Leveraging Demands for Skills (BUILD Act) are examples of education funding reform which EDA supports. These pieces of legislation provide a starting point for continued broadening of grant funding for non-conventional students. EDA opposes H.R. 2474/S.1306 the PRO Act. The PRO Act contains provisions that would allow arbitrators with no business experience and no accountability to set contract terms. The bill would also codify into law the controversial Browning-Ferris Industries joint-employer standard, exposing nearly every business relationship to liability for unlawful behavior committed by any entity with which they do business, such as contractors, suppliers, and franchisees. Similarly, the PRO Act would greatly narrow the circumstances under which an individual can work as an independent contractor, thus substantially diminishing opportunities for Americans to find flexible ways to earn money on their schedule or start their own business. The PRO Act also violates employees rights to privacy and association. The bill mandates employers provide the contact information for all employees without prior approval from the employees themselves to union organizers. Finally, employers due process rights are entirely disregarded by the bill. Under the PRO Act employers would not be able to challenge union misconduct during union elections, their right to counsel on complex labor laws would be practically eliminated, and secondary boycotts would be permitted, allowing unions to target neutral third parties and cause them economic injury even if those entities have no underlying labor dispute with the union. The Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020 (the Flexibility Act or H.R. 6886), which EDA supported, was signed by President Trump on June 5, 2020 making significant changes to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). These changes will triple the time allotted for equipment dealers and other PPP loan recipients to utilize the funds and still qualify for loan forgiveness through the Small Business Administration (SBA). EDA opposes the COVID-19 Every Worker Protection Act of 2020 (H.R. 6559, included as Division L, Title III in H.R. 6800). EDA opposes the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issuance an Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
