- 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 contractors seeking federal contracts over $500,000 to disclose labor law violations when applying for such contracts.
