1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Truth in Employment Act of 2021 . 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. 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. .
