Labor Law Change: Less Federal Oversight for Small Business Disputes.

This bill significantly raises the financial thresholds determining whether the federal National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) handles labor disputes for a given company. This change effectively removes federal oversight of labor law compliance, unionization, and disputes for many smaller businesses, reducing their regulatory burden. Employees in these businesses will rely more heavily on state laws for resolving workplace issues.
Key points
The financial thresholds for federal labor dispute jurisdiction will increase tenfold starting in 2026.
Smaller businesses will face reduced scrutiny from the NLRB regarding labor disputes and union organizing activities.
The new thresholds will be automatically adjusted annually based on the Personal Consumption Expenditure Per Capita Index starting in 2027.
