Excluding Guam from Defense Base Act Coverage
This bill aims to exclude Guam from the provisions of the Defense Base Act. This means individuals working on government contracts in Guam may no longer be covered by the same benefits and protections as workers in other defense bases outside the continental United States. This change could impact the employment conditions and social security of Guam residents working for government contractors.
Key points
Guam will be excluded from the definition of "Territory or possession outside the continental United States" in the Defense Base Act.
Contract workers in Guam may lose protections and benefits under the Defense Base Act, potentially affecting their labor rights and compensation.
