(b) Purposes The purposes of this Act are— (1) to preserve the balance of rights between employers, employees, and labor organizations which is fundamental to collective bargaining; (2) to preserve the rights of workers to organize, or otherwise engage in concerted activities protected under the National Labor Relations Act; and (3) 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. 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. .
