This change may affect the rights of employees and employers on tribal lands.
Key points
Indian tribes and their enterprises on Indian lands are excluded from the definition of 'employer' under federal labor law.
Rules regarding labor unions and collective bargaining on Indian lands will be set by the tribes themselves.
