Tribal Labor Sovereignty Act of 2025

Bill 119 s 1301, also known as the "Indian Labor Rights Act," aims to clarify the rights of Native American tribes and individuals living on Indian lands under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). The NLRA is a federal law that protects the rights of employees to organize and bargain collectively with their employers.

This bill specifically addresses the unique circumstances of Native American tribes and individuals living on Indian lands, who may have different labor relations needs and challenges compared to other populations. The bill seeks to ensure that Native Americans have the same rights and protections under the NLRA as other workers in the United States.

Some key provisions of the bill include clarifying that Native American tribes have the authority to regulate labor relations on their lands, ensuring that tribal sovereignty is respected in labor disputes, and providing mechanisms for resolving conflicts between tribal and federal labor laws. Overall, the goal of Bill 119 s 1301 is to protect the rights of Native American workers and tribes while also respecting their sovereignty and unique cultural and legal traditions. This bill is an important step towards ensuring that all workers in the United States, including those living on Indian lands, have the same rights and protections in the workplace.
