The Employee Rights Act of 2022 offers a forward-looking approach to encourage innovation, support small businesses, offer job flexibility and protect rights in the workplace. It strengthens employees’ privacy, protections against union coercion, eliminates needless disparities and provides all employees, independent contractors and new gig economy workers the necessary protections to ensure economic stability. While President Biden’s Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act places more power in the hands of bureaucrats and union bosses, the Employee Rights Act prioritizes the choices of workers.
More than 60 pro-worker, pro-business groups have endorsed the Employee Rights Act, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Restaurant Association, Institute for the American Worker, International Franchise Association, National Federation of Independent Businesses, the National Restaurant Association, the Small Business and Entrepreneurship Council, and more.
