Bill overview
This bill, the Tribal Labor Sovereignty Act of 2021, aims to clarify and protect the labor rights of Native American tribes and tribal enterprises on tribal lands. It modifies the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) to specifically exclude Indian tribes, tribal businesses, and institutions located on tribal lands from certain employer regulations. This means that these entities are generally not subject to the same labor laws as other employers, particularly regarding unionization and collective bargaining. The goal is to respect tribal self-governance and economic autonomy.
