Protecting American Jobs Act

This bill amends the National Labor Relations Act to shift labor dispute resolution from the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to federal courts. It eliminates the NLRB’s authority to investigate unfair labor practice complaints and instead requires workers or employers to file civil lawsuits in court for issues like workplace rights violations. The bill also limits the NLRB’s rulemaking power to internal operations only, prohibiting it from creating rules affecting substantive labor rights. These changes directly affect workers, employers, and labor unions who previously used the NLRB process to address workplace disputes.
