Truth in Employment Act of 2021
Bill: H.R.5178 | Sponsor: Rep. Allen, Rick W. (R-GA)
Policy area: Labor and Employment

Summary:
Truth in Employment Act of 2021
This bill specifies that the prohibitions against unfair labor practices by employers do not require an employer to employ any person who seeks or has sought employment with the employer in furtherance of other employment or agency status.

To amend the National Labor Relations Act to clarify employer rights 
                         with regard to hiring.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Truth in Employment Act of 2021''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) An atmosphere of trust and civility in labor-management 
        relationships is essential to a productive workplace and a 
        healthy economy.
            (2) The tactic of using professional union organizers and 
        agents to infiltrate a targeted employer's workplace, a 
        practice commonly referred to as ``salting'' has evolved into 
        an aggressive form of harassment not contemplated when the 
        National Labor Relations Act was enacted and threatens the 
        balance of rights.
            (3) Increasingly, union organizers are seeking employment 
        with nonunion employers not because of a desire to work for 
        such employers but primarily to organize the employees of such 
        employers or to inflict economic harm specifically designed to 
        put nonunion competitors out of business, or to do both.
            (4) While no employer may discriminate against employees 
        based upon the views of employees concerning collective 
        bargaining, an employer should have the right to expect job 
        applicants to be primarily interested in utilizing the skills 
        of the applicants to further the goals of the business of the 
        employer.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
            (1) to preserve the balance of rights between employers, 
        employees, and labor organizations; and
            (2) to alleviate pressure on employers to hire individuals 
        who seek or gain employment in order to disrupt the workplace 
        of the employer or otherwise inflict economic harm designed to 
        put the employer out of business.

SEC. 3. PROTECTION OF EMPLOYER RIGHTS.

    Section 8(a) of the National Labor Relations Act (29 U.S.C. 158(a)) 
is amended by adding after and below paragraph (5) the following:
``Nothing in this subsection shall be construed as requiring an 
employer to employ any person who seeks or has sought employment with 
the employer in furtherance of other employment or agency status.''.
