Labor

Where We Stand

The U.S. Chamber strongly supports the right of workers to voluntarily join unions under fair and democratic rules.

We are determined to block labor's legislative initiatives, expose abusive pension fund schemes, and oppose abusive union organizing tactics and state laws that pressure companies to unionize and instead focus on legislation that will protect American employees, employers and business.

We oppose a radical agenda in Congress to rewrite our nation's employment laws that would restrict flexibility in the workplace, expand liability and damages under federal employment related laws, add new criminal penalties under safety and health laws, eliminate arbitration, and mandate new paid leave requirements.
