Tenfold Increase in Federal Jurisdiction Threshold for Small Business Labor Disputes.
This bill dramatically increases the financial threshold required for the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to assert jurisdiction over labor disputes in small businesses. The threshold is immediately multiplied by ten and will be adjusted annually for inflation thereafter. This change aims to reduce federal regulatory oversight for many small employers, potentially shifting labor relations issues to state jurisdiction or removing federal protections for their employees.
Key points
The financial threshold determining which small businesses fall under federal labor law (NLRB) is immediately increased tenfold.
The new threshold will be automatically adjusted every year based on the Personal Consumption Expenditure Per Capita Index (PCE Index).
This change reduces federal regulatory burden on small businesses but may limit federal protections for employees regarding organizing and unfair labor practices.
