  • prohibits employers from interfering with certain rights granted to employees under the NLRA,
  • expands unfair labor practices to include prohibitions against replacement of worker who strike or discrimination against them,
  • imposes new penalties against employers who violate labor law requirements,
  • allows workers to bring civil actions against employers for labor law violations and unfair labor practices,
  • requires certain disclosures with respect to worker wages, and
  • requires contractors seeking federal contracts over $500,000 to disclose labor law violations when applying for such contracts.
