Urges President and Congress to enact legislation amending "Civil Rights Act of 1964" to protect worker's right to unionize.
ACR 126 is a New Jersey legislative resolution urging the U.S. President and Congress to amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It specifically requests adding protections against employer retaliation for union organizing, such as firing or demoting workers. This would allow workers to seek stronger civil rights remedies - including punitive damages - in federal court, rather than relying on current weak penalties under the National Labor Relations Act. The resolution has no legal effect but expresses New Jersey’s support for strengthening union rights.
