4. GDA-394 PROMISE #1: RESTORE THE FAMILY AS THE CENTERPIECE OF AMERICAN LIFE AND PROTECT OUR CHILDREN. .

5. GDA-437 States, cities and counties, school boards, union bosses, principals, and teachers who disagree should be immediately cut off from federal funds. .

6. GDA-457 PROMISE #2: DISMANTLE THE ADMINISTRATIVE STATE AND RETURN SELF-GOVERNANCE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. .

7. GDA-515 PROMISE #3: DEFEND OUR NATION'S SOVEREIGNTY, BORDERS, AND BOUNTY AGAINST GLOBAL THREATS. .

8. GDA-527 Those who run our so-called American corporations have bent to the will of the woke agenda and care more for their foreign investors and organizations than their American workers and customers. .

9. GDA-531 But under our Constitution, they are the mere equals of the workers who shower after work instead of before. .

10. GDA-599 It's not just about higher wages for workers who didn't go to college, though they would receive the raises they have missed out on for two generations. .

11. GDA-606 PROMISE #4 SECURE OUR GOD-GIVEN INDIVIDUAL RIGHT TO ENJOY "THE BLESSINGS OF LIBERTY." The Declaration of Independence famously asserted the belief of America's Founders that "all men are created equal" and endowed with God-given rights to "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness." It's the last --- "the pursuit of Happiness" --- that is central to America's heroic experiment in self-government. .

12. GDA-654 Just as important as expanding opportunities for workers and small businesses, the next President should crack down on the crony capitalist corruption that enables America's largest corporations to profit through political influence rather than competitive enterprise and customer satisfaction. .

13. GDA-689 Section One TAKING THE REINS OF GOVERNMENT A merica's Bicentennial, which culminated on July 4, 1976, was a spirited and unifying celebration of our country, its Founding, and its ideals. .

14. GDA-848 The President conveys the White House's overall message through one or two inaugural addresses, State of the Union addresses, speeches to Congress, and press conferences. .

15. GDA-1282 To address these and other challenges, protect the American worker, and secure free and open markets for our communities and businesses, the next President must leverage the institutional resources and strength of the USTR and neither allow institutional interests to drive a fragmented trade policy that is developed from the ground up nor cater to parochial interests across government and Washington's broader industry of influence. .

16. GDA-1588 Code charges the OPM with executing, administering, and enforcing the rules, regulations, and laws governing the civil service.2 It grants the OPM direct responsibility for activities like retirement, pay, health, training, federal unionization, suitability, and classification functions not specifically granted to other agencies by statute. .

17. GDA-1655 Indistinguishable from their coworkers on paper, hard-working federal employees often go unrewarded for their efforts and are often the system's greatest critics. .

18. GDA-1656 Federal workers who are performing inadequately get neither the benefit of an honest appraisal nor clear guidance on how to improve. .

19. GDA-1666 Meanwhile, the OPM issued regulations to expand the role of performance related to pay throughout the entire workforce, but congressional allies of the employee unions, led by Representative Steny Hoyer (D) of government employee- rich Maryland, stoutly resisted this extension of pay-for-performance and, with strong union support, used the congressional appropriations process to block OPM administrative pay reforms. .

20. GDA-1674 Formal appeal in the private sector is mostly a rather simple two-step process, but government unions and associations have been able to convince politicians to support a multiple and extensive appeals and enforcement process. .

21. GDA-1677 Claims that an employee's removal or disciplinary actions violate the terms of a collective bargaining agreement between an agency and a union are handled by the FLRA, employees who claim their removal was the result of discrimination can appeal to the EEOC, and employees who believe their firing was retribution for being a whistleblower can go to the OSC. .

22. GDA-1691 With the proper limitation of labor union actions, the FLRA should have limited reason for appeals. .

23. GDA-1698 Official data also claim that national government employees are paid less than private-sector employees are paid for similar work, but several more neutral sources demonstrate that public- sector workers make more on average than their private-sector counterparts. .

24. GDA-1701 According to current law, federal workers are to be paid wages comparable to equivalent private-sector workers rather than compared to all private-sector employees. .

25. GDA-1702 While the official studies claim that federal employees are underpaid relative to the private sector by 20 percent or more, a 2016 Heritage Foundation study found that federal employees received wages that were 22 percent higher than wages for similar private-sector workers; if the value of employee benefits was included, the total compensation premium for federal employees over their private-sector equivalents increased to between 30 percent and 40 percent.18 The American Enterprise Institute found a 14 percent pay premium and a 61 percent total compensation premium.19 Base salary is only one component of a federal employee's total compensation. .

26. GDA-1718 A federal employee with a preretirement income of $25,000 under the older of the two federal retirement plans will receive at least $200,000 more over a 20-year period than will private-sector workers with the same preretirement salary under historic inflation levels. .

27. GDA-1737 First, it is a challenge even to know which workers to cut. .

28. GDA-1748 Despite several attempts in the House of Representatives during the Trump years to enact legislation that would modestly increase the weight given to performance over time-of-service, the fierce opposition by federal managers associations and unions representing long-serving but not necessarily well-performing constituents explains why the bills failed to advance. .

29. GDA-1778 The order was subsequently reversed by President Biden25 at the demand of the civil service associations and unions. .

30. GDA-1780 Managing Personnel in a Union Environment. .

31. GDA-1781 Historically, unions were thought to be incompatible with government management. .

32. GDA-1782 There is a natural limit to the bargaining power of private-sector unions, but the financial bottom line of public-sector unions is not similarly constrained. .

33. GDA-1783 If private-sector unions push too hard a bargain, they can so harm a company or so reduce efficiency that their employer is forced to go out of business and eliminate union jobs altogether. .

34. GDA-1784 There is no such limit in government, which cannot go out of business, so demands can be excessive without negatively affecting employee and union bottom lines. .

35. GDA-1785 Even Democratic President Franklin Roosevelt considered union representation in the federal government to be incompatible with democracy. .

36. GDA-1787 It was not until President John Kennedy that union representation in the federal government was recognized --- and then merely by executive order. .

37. GDA-1791 But the management rights are still in statute, have been enforced by some Administrations, and should be enforced again by any future OPM and agency managements, which should not be intimidated by union power. .

38. GDA-1792 Rather than being daunted, President Trump issued three executive orders: l Executive Order 13836, encouraging agencies to renegotiate all union collective bargaining agreements to ensure consistency with the law and respect for management rights;26 l Executive Order 13837, encouraging agencies to prevent union representatives from using official time preparing or pursuing grievances or from engaging in other union activity on government time;27 and l Executive Order 13839, encouraging agencies both to limit labor grievances on removals from service or on challenging performance appraisals and to prioritize performance over seniority when deciding who should be retained following reductions-in-force.28 All were revoked by the Biden Administration29 and should be reinstated by the next Administration, to include the immediate appointment of the FLRA General Counsel and reactivation of the Impasses Panel. .

39. GDA-1793 Congress should also consider whether public-sector unions are appropriate in the first place. .

40. GDA-1794 The bipartisan consensus up until the middle of the 20th century held that these unions were not compatible with constitutional government.30 After more than half a century of experience with public-sector union frustrations of good government management, it is hard to avoid reaching the same conclusion. .

41. GDA-1894 Trump, Executive Order 13837, "Ensuring Transparency, Accountability, and Efficiency in Taxpayer-Funded Union Time Use," May 25, 2018, in Federal Register, Vol. .

42. GDA-1901 Howard, Not Accountable: Rethinking the Constitutionality of Public Employee Unions (Garden City, NY: Rodin Books, 2023). .

43. GDA-1904 Section Two THE COMMON DEFENSE W hile the lives of Americans are affected in noteworthy ways, for better or worse, by each part of the executive branch, the inherent importance of national defense and foreign affairs makes the Departments of Defense and State first among equals. .

44. GDA-2703 These opportunities include privatizing TSA screening and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) National Flood Insurance Program, reforming FEMA emergency spending to shift the majority of preparedness and response costs to states and localities instead of the federal government, eliminating most of DHS's grant programs, and removing all unions in the department for national security purposes. .

45. GDA-2736 Non-Use of Discretionary Guest Worker Visa Authorities. .

46. GDA-2737 To stop facilitating the availability of cheap foreign labor in order to support American workers (particularly poor and middle-class American workers) and follow congressional intent, the Secretary should explicitly cease using at least two discretionary authorities as part of his or her broader effort to support American workers. .

47. GDA-2739 l The Secretary should not issue any regulations in support of the "H-2 eligible" country list, the effect of which would prevent favoring certain foreign nationals seeking an H-2 guest worker visa based simply on their nationality. .

48. GDA-2865 The oft-abused H-1B program should be transformed into an elite program through which employers are vying to bring in only the top foreign workers at the highest wages so as not to depress American opportunities. .

49. GDA-2887 Leaks must be investigated and punished as they would be in a national security agency, and the union should be decertified. .

50. GDA-2949 workers are not being disadvantaged by the program. .

51. GDA-3088 Until it is privatized, TSA should be treated as a national security provider, and its workforce should be deunionized immediately. .

52. GDA-3112 They should also be prepared to help implement any end to unionization of DHS components in response to an executive order pursuant to 5 U.S.C. .

53. GDA-3256 l Department of Justice: Agree to move the Executive Office for Immigration Review and the Office of Immigration Litigation to DHS and/or, alternatively, to treat the administrative law judges (immigration judges and Board of Immigration Appeals) as national security personnel, decertify their union, and move to increase hiring significantly to enable the processing of more immigration cases. .

54. GDA-3263 l Department of Labor: Eliminate the two (of four) lowest wage levels for foreign workers. .

55. GDA-3603 support for YPG/PKK [People's Protection Units/Kurdistan Worker's Party] Kurdish forces, which Ankara believes are an existential threat to its security. .

56. GDA-4782 Johnson, State of the Union Address, January 10, 1967, https://www.infoplease.com/ primary-sources/government/presidential-speeches/state-union-address-lyndon-b-johnson-january-10-1967 (accessed March 21, 2023). .

57. GDA-5325 Section Three THE GENERAL WELFARE When our Founders wrote in the Constitution that the federal government would "promote the general Welfare," they could not have fathomed a massive bureaucracy that would someday spend $3 trillion in a single year --- roughly the sum, combined, spent by the departments covered in this section in 2022. .

58. GDA-5364 In the next Administration, it should refocus on its core duties and keep "noncitizens"¦from living in federally assisted housing," provide enhanced "oversight of foreign ownership of [U.S.] real estate," and "reinvigorate paths to upward economic mobility" and economic "self-sufficiency." In Chapter 18, former acting assistant secretary of policy at the Department of Labor Jonathan Berry writes that the department and related agencies should pursue pro-family, pro-worker policies to help "restore the family-supporting job as the centerpiece of the American economy," in lieu of the current Administration's "left-wing social-engineering agenda" --- "the most assertive" in history --- which empowers race, gender, and climate-change activists at the expense of American workers. .

59. GDA-5870 94. Tom Driscoll, "From the Field: Farmers Are the Original Conservationists," National Farmers Union, August 30, 2017, https://nfu.org/2017/08/30/from-the-field-farmers-are-the-original-conservationists/ (accessed December 16, 2022). .

60. GDA-6058 But, unlike the public sector bureaucracies, public employee unions, and the higher education lobby, families and students do not need a Department of Education to learn, grow, and improve their lives. .

61. GDA-6260 In fact, the NEA and the nation's other large teacher union, the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), use litigation and other efforts to block school choice and advocate for additional taxpayer spending in education. .

62. GDA-6263 Furthermore, the union promotes radical racial and gender ideologies in schools that parents oppose according to nationally representative surveys. .

63. GDA-6833 energy infrastructure," serve "as a bridge to bankability for breakthrough projects and technologies," and "de-risk[] them at early stages of investment so they can be developed at commercial scale and achieve market acceptance."55 The Biden Administration directed the program to subsidize the Administration's "net zero" energy transition away from conventional fuels by 2050 and to promote union jobs and domestic supply chains.56 The LPO coordinates with the U.S. .

64. GDA-8209 Current reporting methods are burdensome for frontline medical workers, yet they result only in fragmented data that are not available in real time or usable across systems. .

65. GDA-8211 HHS should also enter into a public-private partnership with a data-management expert to develop a system that makes critical information available to health care workers and policymakers in real time.8 The CDC operates several programs related to vaccine safety including the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS); Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD); and Clinical Immunization Safety Assessment (CISA) Project. .

66. GDA-8278 The Administration and policymakers should ensure that health care workers, particularly those in hospitals and emergency rooms, report abortion pill complications. .

67. GDA-8455 Congress should build on the Trump Administration's efforts to expand choices for small businesses and workers, both in and out of the exchanges, by codifying an expansion of association health plans, short-term health plans, and health reimbursement arrangements (including individual coverage HRAs). .

68. GDA-8531 Health care workers were praised for their self-sacrifice in caring for sick patients at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, but then they were fired if they objected to receiving COVID- 19 vaccines with or without complying with onerous masking requirements and regardless of whether they already had the virus and had gained natural immunity. .

69. GDA-8631 Despite recent congressional bills like the Respect for Marriage Act that redefine marriage to be the union between any two individuals, HMRE program grants should be available to faith- based recipients who affirm that marriage is between not just any two adults, but one man and one unrelated woman. .

70. GDA-8784 In addition, the Office of Population Affairs should eliminate religious discrimination in grant selections and guarantee the right of conscience and religious freedom of health care workers and participants in the Title X program. .

71. GDA-9477 Merit Systems Protection Board complaints, and no adverse union activity. .

72. GDA-9537 IMMEDIATE ACTIONS REGARDING ALASKA Alaska is a special case and deserves immediate action.47 When Alaska was admitted to the Union in 1959, nearly its entire landmass was federally owned; therefore, Alaska was granted the right to select 104 million acres (out of 375 million acres) to manage for the benefit of its residents.48 In less than eight years, Alaska selected 26 million acres. .

73. GDA-9542 By the time Ronald Reagan took office, Alaska had received less than half the lands to which it was entitled after its admission into the Union, and Native Alaskans had received only one-third of the land due to them.55 From January of 1981 through 1983, however, under Reagan, Alaska received 30 million acres and a commitment of land transfers at the rate of 13 million acres annually. .

74. GDA-9597 For example, in one highly influential sage-grouse monograph, 41 percent of the authors were federal workers. .

75. GDA-10225 l Pursue aggressive enforcement of the immigration laws within the Immigrant and Employee Rights Section of the Civil Rights Division to ensure that no American citizen is discriminated against in the employment context in favor of a temporary or foreign worker.96 l Ensure the deployment and use of appointees throughout the department who are committed to successful achievement of the department's immigration-related missions. .

76. GDA-10533 Workers and Potential Regulatory Recruitment Violations," U.S. .

77. GDA-10543 18 DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND RELATED AGENCIES Jonathan Berry MISSION STATEMENT At the heart of The Conservative Promise is the resolve to reclaim the role of each American worker as the protagonist in his or her own life and to restore the family as the centerpiece of American life. .

78. GDA-10544 The role that labor policy plays in that promise is twofold: Give workers the support they need for rewarding, well-paying, and self-driven careers, and restore the family-supporting job as the centerpiece of the American economy. .

79. GDA-10547 While it is primarily the culture's responsibility to affirm the dignity of work, our federal labor and employment agencies have an important role to play by protecting workers, setting boundaries for the healthy functioning of labor markets, and ultimately encouraging wages and conditions for jobs that can support a family. .

80. GDA-10557 The agencies' authorities have been abused by the Left to favor human resources bureaucracies, climate-change activists, and union bosses --- all against the interest of American workers. .

81. GDA-10604 The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA)4 requires employers to make reasonable accommodations for women "to the known limitations related to the pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions," unless "the accommodation would impose an undue hardship on the operation of the [employer's] business." The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) also provides nondiscrimination and accommodation protections in the workplace for certain pregnancy-related disability.5 None of these laws requires an employer provide health insurance benefits for elective abortion. .

82. GDA-10639 l Allow workers to accumulate paid time off. .

83. GDA-10640 Lower- and middle-income workers are more likely be in jobs that are subject to overtime laws that require employers to pay time-and-a-half for working more than 40 hours a week. .

84. GDA-10642 The Working Families Flexibility Act would allow employees in the private sector the ability to choose between receiving time-and-a-half pay or accumulating time-and-a-half paid time off (a choice that many public sector workers already have). .

85. GDA-10659 Metrics like marriage and fertility rates, the share of children living with both biological parents, the cost of a standard basket of middle-class essentials, and the share of families whose highest-income worker earns more than twice the poverty threshold should be measured and reported monthly and in real-time and incorporated in releases for other labor statistics. .

86. GDA-10669 Unfortunately, that communal day of rest has eroded under the pressures of consumerism and secularism, especially for low-income workers. .

87. GDA-10670 l Congress should encourage communal rest by amending the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)9 to require that workers be paid time and a half for hours worked on the Sabbath. .

88. GDA-10672 Houses of worship (to the limited extent they may have FLSA-covered employees) and employers legally required to operate around the clock (such as hospitals and first responders) would be exempt, as would workers otherwise exempt from overtime. .

89. GDA-10686 Our labor agenda must allow community institutions, including small businesses, schools and universities, religious organizations, and worker organizations, to thrive. .

90. GDA-10687 Protect flexible work options and worker independence (independent contractors). .

91. GDA-10691 Independent workers, or contractors, are also critical to entrepreneurship and small-business growth and success. .

92. GDA-10693 Without the ability to hire those contractors, many small businesses could not compete with larger ones that can afford to employ workers in-house. .

93. GDA-10694 Businesses and workers currently must navigate many different definitions of who is and who is not an employee (or an independent contractor) based on federal and state employment, compensation, tort, tax, and pension laws. .

94. GDA-10696 The Trump Administration finalized rules to provide clarity on which workers qualify as an independent contractor or employee under the FLSA and NLRA. .

95. GDA-10698 l NLRB and DOL should return to their 2019 and 2021 independent contractor rules that provided much-needed clarity for workers and employers. .

96. GDA-10701 l Congress should provide a safe harbor from employer-employee status for companies that offer independent workers access to earned benefits. .

97. GDA-10706 They also include the nearly 775,000 independently owned franchise businesses, which employ 8.2 million workers across the United States. .

98. GDA-10714 "Nonexempt workers" (e.g., workers whose job duties fall within the law's power or whose total pay is low enough) must be paid overtime (150 percent of the "regular rate") for every hour over 40 in a workweek. .

99. GDA-10716 And because some of these fringe benefits may be more valuable (and often come with tax preferences that benefit the worker), the goal should be to set a threshold to ensure lower-income workers have the protections of overtime pay without discouraging employers from offering these benefits. .

100. GDA-10718 The Trump-era threshold is high enough to capture most line workers in lower-cost regions. .

101. GDA-10725 This would give workers greater flexibility to work more hours in one week and fewer hours in the next and would not require the employer to pay them more for that same total number of hours of work during the entire period. .

102. GDA-10730 l Labor agencies should provide compliance assistance to help businesses and workers better understand the agencies' position on their own rules and should do so in a way that makes it easier to follow those rules. .

103. GDA-10735 It should be used to make complicated regulations easier to understand, so that businesses can do their actual jobs and focus on providing jobs to American workers and value to consumers (really, compliance assistance). .

104. GDA-10737 This wrongful use of guidance hurts workers and those who employ them. .

105. GDA-10760 America has a long history of religious organizations working to advance the dignity of workers and provide them with greater opportunity, from the many prominent Christian and Jewish voices in the early labor movement to the "labor priests" who would appear on picket lines to support their flocks. .

106. GDA-10761 Today, the role of religion in helping workers has diminished, but a country committed to strengthening civil society must ask more from religious organizations and make sure that their important role is not impeded by regulatory roadblocks or the bureaucratic status quo. .

107. GDA-10763 Both DOL and NLRB should facilitate religious organizations helping to strengthen working families via apprenticeship programs, worker organizations, vocational training, benefits networks, etc. .

108. GDA-10767 This results in worker shortages in dangerous fields and often discourages otherwise interested young workers from trying the more dangerous job. .

109. GDA-10770 l DOL should amend its hazard-order regulations to permit teenage workers access to work in regulated jobs with proper training and parental consent. .

110. GDA-10773 l Congress should create an employer grant worth up to $10,000 per year or pro-rated portion thereof for each worker engaged in on-the-job training, defined as some share of paid time spent in a formal training program. .

111. GDA-10774 To qualify, a program --- whether run by the employer, an industry consortium, a community college, or a union --- would need to define program length, curriculum, career path, and credential and to report regularly on outcomes for participants. .

112. GDA-10780 In 2020, the Trump Administration took an important step toward pro-worker, skills-based hiring practices. .

113. GDA-10785 Federal agencies continue to require college degrees for contract employees, and federal contractors are rarely able to place workers without four-year degrees on federal projects, regardless of their qualifications. .

114. GDA-10786 Private employers consistently impose a BA requirement on jobs even when existing workers in the role do not have one. .

115. GDA-10819 WORKER VOICE AND COLLECTIVE BARGAINING Non-Union Worker Voice and Representation. .

116. GDA-10820 American workers lack a meaningful voice in today's workplace. .

117. GDA-10821 Between 50 percent and 60 percent of workers have less influence than they want on critical workplaces issues beyond pay and benefits. .

118. GDA-10823 But America's one-size-fits-all approach undermines worker representation. .

119. GDA-10824 Federal labor law offers no alternatives to labor unions whose politicking and adversarial approach appeals to few, whereas most workers report that they prefer a more cooperative model run jointly with management that focuses solely on workplace issues. .

120. GDA-10825 The next Administration should make new options available to workers and push Congress to pass labor reforms that create non-union "employee involvement organizations" as well as a mechanism for worker representation on corporate boards. .

121. GDA-10827 Reforms the National Labor Relations Act's (NLRA) Section 8(a)(2) prohibition on formal worker-management cooperative organizations like works councils. .

122. GDA-10831 While some conservatives lament that workers lack sufficient voice in today's workplace, others interpret the rise in independent and flexible work opportunities, significant expansion in family-friendly policies like paid family leave, and the decline in private sector unionization as indicators of workers' increasing competency and control. .

123. GDA-10832 Another way to help expand workers' freedom and voices in traditional workplaces is by allowing them to choose who represents them in negotiations with their employer. .

124. GDA-10833 The Worker's Choice Act19 would accomplish this by ending exclusive representation so that unions in right-to-work states are no longer forced to represent workers who do not want to join them. .

125. GDA-10834 Union Transparency. .

126. GDA-10835 Private-sector unions must file detailed financial information with DOL --- on matters including union spending, income, loans, assets, membership information, and employee salary --- but unions composed entirely of state or local employees are exempt from this filing requirement. .

127. GDA-10836 These disclosure requirements help workers and the public understand how union leaders are raising and spending union dues; they also can serve as a vital source of information that helps workers decide if the unions they are asked to join are good stewards of the funds they collect. .

128. GDA-10838 Bush and Donald Trump, tried rulemakings (known as the Intermediate Bodies Rule) that would require some government unions to file the same information that is required of private-sector unions. .

129. GDA-10839 Under President Trump, OLMS required unions to disclose involvement in trusts that they either own a majority stake in or control. .

130. GDA-10840 In the past, union trust spending has been hidden, and it appears that trust assets have occasionally been corruptly spent for the benefit of private interests in union leadership --- such as $30,000 spent on a private party, $37,500 spent on a Montblanc pen, condominiums for those in power, golf outings, and a Ferrari.20 But the Biden DOL eliminated a transparency rule requiring the filing of the T-1 Trust Annual Report. .

131. GDA-10841 More generally, OLMS, which is charged with enforcing the law of union disclosure, has historically been underfunded when compared to other DOL agencies. .

132. GDA-10849 Unions have a duty of fair representation to their members, yet they too often abuse that duty to use their members' resources on left-wing culture-war issues that are unrelated, and in fact often harmful, to union members' own interests. .

133. GDA-10850 l The NLRB should take enforcement or amicus action advancing the position that political conflicts of interest by union leadership can support claims for breach of the duty of fair representation in a manner analogous to financial conflicts of interest and analogous to breaches of the fiduciary duty of loyalty in other areas of law. .

134. GDA-10851 Interpreting "Protected Concerted Activity." In an effort to prevent employers from retaliating against workers who express a desire to unionize, certain activities are deemed "protected concerted activity" (under Β§7 of the NLRA). .

135. GDA-10854 Injunctive Relief and Worker Organizing Activities. .

136. GDA-10856 Firing workers engaged in concerted activity has an immediate chilling effect on organizing, but remedies under the NLRA typically come only much later and amount only to backpay. .

137. GDA-10857 In NLRA section 10(j), Congress empowered the NLRB to obtain temporary injunctions that immediately reinstate workers to their jobs in these circumstances. .

138. GDA-10858 This provides a more meaningful remedy to the worker and creates a significant deterrent to unfair labor practices, because prompt reinstatement will tend to reinforce the legitimacy of the organizing effort. .

139. GDA-10862 Dues-Funded Worker Centers. .

140. GDA-10863 Under current law, both labor unions and unionized employers must file financial disclosures with DOL on an annual basis to ward off potential fraud and corruption of the sort that has been seen recently within the United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW). .

141. GDA-10864 However, worker centers, which have grown in number and influence enormously over the past decade, are not required to file these disclosures. .

142. GDA-10865 l Investigate worker centers and require financial disclosures. .

143. GDA-10866 DOL should investigate worker centers that look and act like unions and bring enforcement actions to require them to file the same financial disclosures. .

144. GDA-10868 Currently, the Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) may investigate potential employer malfeasance with regard to union funds in the absence of any complaint by a worker or union but may not do the same with regard to potential union malfeasance. .

145. GDA-10869 If OLMS has evidence that a union may be violating the law based on information available to the agency (such as annual financial disclosure reports, information developed during an audit of a union's books and records, or information obtained from other government agencies) it should be permitted to open an investigation. .

146. GDA-10870 It should have the same enforcement tools available for both employers and unions. .

147. GDA-10874 During the Obama Administration, DOL created significant regulatory burdens for employers with respect to the advice that employers receive about union activity. .

148. GDA-10875 As a general matter, employers who hire lawyers or other consultants to advise employees about union issues must file disclosure forms with the department, as must the lawyers and consultants themselves. .

149. GDA-10880 Unionizing the Workplace: Card Check vs. .

150. GDA-10882 Under the NLRA, instead of having a secret ballot election about the decision to unionize a workplace, a union may instead collect signed pro-union cards from a majority of the employees it wishes to represent and then ask the employer and National Labor Relations Board for voluntary union recognition. .

151. GDA-10883 That request gives the employer the option to hold a secret-ballot election or to recognize the union without any such election. .

152. GDA-10884 This "card check" procedure is likely to induce employees to provide their signed cards in ways that do not accurately reflect their true preferences --- ranging from a desire not to offend the signature requestor to a wish to avoid intimidation and coercion to signing based on false information provided by union organizers. .

153. GDA-10887 l Discard "card check." Congress should discard "card check" as the basis of union recognition and mandate the secret ballot exclusively. .

154. GDA-10889 Although current labor law allows a union to establish itself at a workplace at more or less any time, the calendar for any attempt to decertify a union is considerably more constrained. .

155. GDA-10890 If a union is recognized as a collective bargaining agent, then employees may not decertify it or substitute another union for it for at least one year under federal law (the "certification bar"). .

156. GDA-10891 Similarly, when a union reaches a collective bargaining agreement with an employer, it is immune from a decertification election for up to three years (the "contract bar"). .

157. GDA-10893 Employees then have only a 45-day window to file a decertification petition; if the employer and union sign a successor contract, then the contract bar comes into play once again --- meaning employees with an interest in decertification must wait another three years. .

158. GDA-10898 These substantive worker protections often do not mesh well with the procedural worker protections offered through the NLRA's collective bargaining process. .

159. GDA-10899 Unions could play a powerful role in tailoring national employment rules to the needs of a particular workplace if, in unionized workplaces, national rules were treated as negotiable defaults rather than non-negotiable floors. .

160. GDA-10901 For example, this reform would allow a union to bless a relaxed overtime trigger (e.g., 45 hours a week, or 80 hours over two weeks) in exchange for firm employer commitments on predictable scheduling. .

161. GDA-10903 While some conservatives (including the author of this chapter) believe that it would be a mistake to antagonize unions' core interests, others argue that the next Administration should end Project Labor Agreement requirements and repeal the Davis-Bacon Act. .

162. GDA-10904 And while some conservatives have chosen not to address massive federal subsidies for unionized labor, others believe that current laws and regulations that pick winners and losers to the detriment of the majority of construction workers and to all taxpayers should not be ignored. .

163. GDA-10907 Among the consequences: The majority of construction firms and construction workers are not unionized and their temporary forced unionization results in large-scale wage theft; construction companies are significantly less likely to bid on projects with PLAs; and PLAs consistently drive up construction costs by 10 percent to 30 percent. .

164. GDA-10911 Repealing the Davis-Bacon Act would increase worker freedom and end a longstanding effective tax on American families. .

165. GDA-10916 THE STATES Worker-led Benefits Experimentation. .

166. GDA-10917 Workers depend on unemployment benefits to navigate inevitable market frictions and seek new employment opportunities. .

167. GDA-10920 The most promising avenue for innovation is to involve workers and private-sector organizations more directly, freed from unnecessary bureaucratic strictures. .

168. GDA-10921 Americans take for granted that unemployment benefits must be administered by government agencies, but other Western market democracies feature effective and popular benefits administered by non-public worker organizations. .

169. GDA-10926 l Approve non-public worker organizations as UI administrators. .

170. GDA-10927 DOL should approve, pursuant to Β§ 303(a)(2) of the Social Security Act, non- public worker organizations as administrators. .

171. GDA-10936 State and local governments seeking waivers would be required to demonstrate that their reforms would accomplish the purpose of the underlying law, and not take away any current rights held by workers or employers. .

172. GDA-10945 Further, the federal government should not force a state to use non-union labor or union labor for these positions. .

173. GDA-10947 WORKER RETIREMENT SAVINGS, ESG, AND PENSION REFORMS l Remove ESG considerations from ERISA. .

174. GDA-10953 While Americans are free to invest their own savings however they wish, in ERISA, Congress imposed strict duties on employer-sponsored worker retirement plans as a prophylactic protection of workers' retirement security in general. .

175. GDA-10994 At the request of multiemployer union pension plans, the government has given such plans much more lenient rules and discretion over funding than it has given to single-employer plans. .

176. GDA-11001 Workers should be able to earn benefits at any employer in the plan, but liabilities should be divided amongst employers, instead of the current illusory joint and several liability under which no one is ultimately responsible for making up underfunding. .

177. GDA-11010 The PBGC should use existing statutory authority to protect workers, retirees, employers, and taxpayers by closely monitoring and taking appropriate remedial action with regard to badly run and underfunded multiemployer union pension plans, including termination where appropriate. .

178. GDA-11025 While ESOPs can be a beneficial part of a worker's and family's savings, some conservatives believe that the government should not favor one form of investment over another or make it harder for families to have a diversified investment portfolio. .

179. GDA-11026 PUTTING AMERICAN WORKERS FIRST A labor agenda focused on the strength of American families must put American workers first. .

180. GDA-11027 As the family necessarily puts the interests of its members first, so too the United States must put the interests of American workers first. .

181. GDA-11029 The H-2A visa, meant to allow temporary agricultural workers into the United States, also suffers frequent employer abuse. .

182. GDA-11030 The low cost of H-2A workers undercuts American workers in agricultural employment. .

183. GDA-11037 Some conservatives believe that temporary worker programs help to fill jobs that Americans will not fill, prevent illegal immigration by giving farmers and others who hire low-skilled labor access to workers, and keep down the prices of food and other products and services produced by the temporary workers. .

184. GDA-11038 Some credibly argue that, absent the H-2A program, many farmers would have to drastically increase wages, raising the price of food for all Americans, and that even such wage increases may not be sufficient to attract enough temporary American workers to complete the necessary farm tasks to get food products to market since those jobs are, by their nature, seasonal. .

185. GDA-11041 The H-2B visa, for nonagricultural seasonal workers, suffers from many of the same harms and abuses as H-2A, albeit of lesser scope because of its cap and distribution across many sectors. .

186. GDA-11044 As with the H-2A program, some conservatives see the H-2B program as a valuable program that provides low-cost temporary workers in jobs that American companies, by and large, cannot find enough American workers to fill (e.g., tourist season childcare providers at ski resorts, swimming instructors at summer camps, housekeepers and groundskeepers at amusement parks, and extra summer cooks at restaurants that serve national park patrons).These seasonal jobs are less desirable to Americans who predominantly prefer year-round work. .

187. GDA-11049 When government purchases goods or services, if at all possible, not only should the company be an American company and the products be manufactured in America, but the companies should also be encouraged to hire American workers. .

188. GDA-11054 Despite the significant advantages that preferring citizens over (work-authorized) aliens in hiring would provide to American workers, businesses, and the country at large, such a practice has been illegal since 1986.25 This makes no sense. .

189. GDA-11057 Excessive government spending will be borne by American workers and families through reduced incomes and purchasing power. .

190. GDA-11058 There may be good reasons to require a certain percentage of American workers on federal contracts, but those decisions should be based on economy and efficiency as opposed to arbitrary quotas. .

191. GDA-11063 INTERNATIONAL LABOR POLICY Leveling the International Playing Field for Workers. .

192. GDA-11064 As recent decades of intense import competition and offshoring have made clear, American workers suffer when the U.S. .

193. GDA-11066 While federal law already prohibits the importation of goods produced with forced labor, the prohibitions are toothless without effective means of enforcement and cover only the most basic of workers' rights. .

194. GDA-11067 The Trump Administration and its United States Trade Representative (USTR) took unprecedented steps to redress the issue for workers. .

195. GDA-11071 l Protect workers' rights to organize and participate voluntarily in a union without employer interference or discrimination. .

196. GDA-11076 Investigate Foreign Labor Violations That Undermine American Workers. .

197. GDA-11077 The United States' embrace of globalization has exposed American workers to unfair competition from nations with cheap, abundant, and often exploited labor. .

198. GDA-11078 American workers have, as a consequence, seen their earning power erode. .

199. GDA-11082 l The next Administration should focus ILAB investigations on foreign labor violations that do the most to damage American workers' earning power, specifically regimes that engage in child and forced labor, fail to protect workers' organizing rights, and permit hazardous or otherwise exploitative working conditions. .

200. GDA-11084 Conservatives share a belief in protecting and promoting American workers and their families and orienting international policies with Americans' interests first. .

201. GDA-11086 In addition to restrictions imposed on other countries, removing existing barriers to American manufacturing, employment, and commerce can help American workers, entrepreneurs, and families. .

202. GDA-11101 OCI educates employers and workers on their rights, responsibilities, and available recourse under the many statutes, rules, and regulations administered by DOL. .

203. GDA-11107 By eliminating the policies promoted by the DEI agenda, promoting pro-life policies that support family life, expanding available apprenticeship programs including by encouraging the role of religious organizations in apprenticeships, making family-sustaining jobs accessible, simplifying employment requirements, and allowing employers to prefer American citizens when making hiring decisions, among the other policy recommendations discussed above, we can begin to secure a future in which the American worker, and by extension the American family, can thrive and prosper. .

204. GDA-11154 19. Worker's Choice Act of 2019, H.R. .

205. GDA-11286 That will do more than translate into a loss of auto industry jobs for American workers: It will also mean a significant increase in traffic deaths and injuries. .

206. GDA-11423 Since facilitating travel for workers is one of the core functions of mass transit systems, a permanent reduction in commuting raises questions about the viability of fixed-route mass transit, especially considering that transit systems required substantial subsidization before the pandemic. .

207. GDA-11433 Compensation costs for transit workers exceed both regional and sector compensation averages. .

208. GDA-11435 Since workers value wages more than they value fringe benefits, this has led to a perverse situation in which transit agencies have high compensation costs yet are struggling to attract workers. .

209. GDA-11437 Section 10(c) of the Urban Mass Transportation Act of 196414 was initially intended to protect bargaining rights for workers in privately owned transit systems that were being absorbed by government-operated agencies. .

210. GDA-11570 However, they have not sustained the previous Administration's commitment to a genuine "Veteran-centric" philosophy, most notably with respect to the delivery of health care, and harbor a bias toward expanding the unionized federal employee workforce that has not always been aligned with a focus on "Veteran-centric" care. .

211. GDA-11655 10. Examine the surpluses or deficits in mental health professionals throughout the enterprise, recognizing that the department needs a blend of social workers, therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists with a focus on attracting high-quality talent. .

212. GDA-11764 Section Four THE ECONOMY The next Administration must prioritize the economic prosperity of ordinary Americans. .

213. GDA-11779 Second, China's "economic aggression" in the form of "tariffs, nontariff barriers, dumping, counterfeiting and piracy, and currency manipulation" further weakens our "manufacturing and defense industrial base even as the fragility of globally dispersed supply chains has been brought into sharp relief by the COVID-19 pandemic." In contrast to Lassman, Navarro thinks that "trade deficits matter a great deal." He writes that "offshoring not only suppresses the real wages of American blue-collar workers and denies millions of Americans the opportunity to climb up the rungs of the ladder to the middle class," but it also "raises the specter of a manufacturing and defense industrial base that, unlike our experience in World Wars I and II, will not be able to provide the weapons and matΓ©riel that would be needed should America enter another major world war." Also, China controls "much of the world's pharmaceutical production and supply chains." It is therefore essential, he writes, that our trade policy be guided by "the principle of reciprocity," whereby we coax other countries into lowering their trade barriers if possible and raise ours as necessary. .

214. GDA-11783 national laboratories, innovation centers, incubators, and think tanks." Huawei, "an instrument of Chinese military espionage," is now partnering with UC Berkeley on research with "important future military applications." China is also engaged in what Warren Buffett calls "conquest by purchase," as it uses revenues from its trade surpluses "to buy American real estate, companies, and financial assets." In sum, Navarro believes our current trade policy enriches our allies and adversaries while hurting us, weakens our industrial base while strengthening China's, and shortchanges "Main Street manufacturers and workers." Such non-reciprocal "free" trade is slowly undermining our capabilities and our freedom. .

215. GDA-11855 ITA carries out this mission on behalf of American workers, ranchers, and families. .

216. GDA-12246 Strong representation at the International Telecommunication Union should protect the interests of both private and government users of spectrum. .

217. GDA-12374 tax system, and its primary economic burden falls on workers because capital is more mobile than labor.17 Capital gains and qualified dividends should be taxed at 15 percent. .

218. GDA-12393 This limits the freedom of workers and their families to spend their compensation as they see fit --- and it can trap workers in their current jobs due to the jobs' benefit packages. .

219. GDA-12535 The new Administration should establish a more streamlined bank and supervision by supporting legislation to merge the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the National Credit Union Administration, and the Federal Reserve's non-monetary supervisory and regulatory functions. .

220. GDA-12813 67. On banks, credit unions, broker-dealers, and other financial institutions as normally understood, but note that 31 U.S. .

221. GDA-12896 Because capital will tend to shift from unsubsidized companies to subsidized companies (taxpayers foot the bill if companies backed by the Bank default), unsubsidized export companies face higher borrowing costs, which could translate into fewer jobs in unsubsidized companies or lower pay for their workers. .

222. GDA-12958 As President Reagan once famously remarked, "Why would I want our businesses competing with two hands tied behind their backs?" On January 30, 1984, the President said, "Exports create and sustain jobs for millions of American workers and contribute to the growth and strength of the United States economy. .

223. GDA-13604 Conservative think tanks and taxpayer organizations like The Heritage Foundation, the Cato Institute, the National Taxpayers Union, Citizens Against Government Waste, the Taxpayers Protection Alliance, and Americans for Tax Reform (among others) also have a stake in an improved and cost-effective SBA. .

224. GDA-13620 americanbanker.com/creditunions/news/sba-hasnt-given-up-on-direct-lending (accessed February 18, 2023). .

225. GDA-13750 The practical result has been the systematic exploitation of American farmers, ranchers, manufacturers, and workers through higher tariffs institutionalized by MFN. .

226. GDA-13767 Such offshoring not only suppresses the real wages of American blue-collar workers and denies millions of Americans the opportunity to climb up the rungs of the ladder to the middle class, but also raises the specter of a manufacturing and defense industrial base that, unlike our experience in World Wars I and II, will not be able to provide the weapons and matΓ©riel that would be needed should America enter another major world war or seek to assist a major ally like Europe, Japan, or Taiwan. .

227. GDA-13780 Trump, 2019 State of the Union Address8 The World Trade Organization, with its 164 members, governs international trade rules. .

228. GDA-13815 Under current United States laws and regulations, an American President has limited ability to fight back against the higher MFN tariffs now being levied against American workers, farmers, ranchers, and manufacturers. .

229. GDA-13817 To address this nonreciprocity stalemate, President Trump urged Congress in his 2019 State of the Union address to pass the United States Reciprocal Trade Act (USRTA).12 Under the USRTA, the President would have the authority to bring any American trading partner that is currently applying higher nonreciprocal tariffs to the negotiating table. .

230. GDA-13888 and much of the rest of the world, which penalizes American farmers, ranchers, manufacturers, and workers because of the WTO-MFN conundrum. .

231. GDA-13899 In summary, passage of the USRTA would go a long way toward leveling the playing field for American farmers, ranchers, manufacturers, and workers who are now forced to compete in an intrinsically unfair, unbalanced, and nonreciprocal WTO-MFN system. .

232. GDA-14015 These obstacles include: l The dogma of the Ricardian free-trade model, which has been used as propaganda to thwart the adoption of measures that seek to level the global trading field for American manufacturers, farmers, ranchers, and workers; l The politics of trade policy, which has led to a great divide that makes trade policy reforms difficult to implement; l The economics of trade deficits, which are not adequately understood either by the American public or by the policymaking intelligentsia; and l The crucial role of supportive White House and Administration personnel in implementing effective trade policies. .

233. GDA-14018 This orthodoxy is based on the ivory tower academic conclusion that if countries trade freely among each other, each will pursue its own comparative advantages; production will be most efficient around the world; the economic pie will be bigger both for the globe and for each free trading country; and (so long as workers who lose their jobs are fairly compensated from the gains from trade) everyone will be better off. .

234. GDA-14026 Those who support secure borders and seek to onshore more of American production and supply chains do so to boost the real wages of American workers and to enhance our national security. .

235. GDA-14031 Our skies and water may be cleaner, and our products may be cheaper, Main Street manufacturers and workers bear the brunt of these policies. .

236. GDA-14088 CONCLUSION A Harvard professor once told me during my doctoral thesis days that "if I tell you how it is, I've told you why it can't change." Despite the obvious exploitation of American farmers, ranchers, manufacturers, and workers by the international trading system and Communist Chinese aggression, powerful political forces nonetheless exist that profit from the status quo. .

237. GDA-14102 l Trade can help American workers and businesses to specialize in what they do best --- which is how they outcompete the rest of the world in technology, manufacturing, agriculture, and other areas. .

238. GDA-14134 That meant fewer people could be factory workers, doctors, or teachers, or even live in cities, because they were needed on the farm. .

239. GDA-14148 The factory worker who builds a tractor does as much to boost farm production as the farmers themselves, yet economic planners put them in different categories. .

240. GDA-14186 Technology and changing tastes displace six times as many workers as does trade, yet those workers get no such special treatment. .

241. GDA-14187 Displaced workers should receive the same benefits regardless of the reason. .

242. GDA-14213 The first order of business for a new Administration that is focused on American workers and consumers is to repeal all tariffs enacted under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 196251 and Sections 201 and 301 of the Trade Act of 1974.52 The President can do this unilaterally, and Congress can do it through legislation. .

243. GDA-14239 American manufacturing is buoyant because each manufacturing worker's productivity is also at an all-time high. .

244. GDA-14297 Trade adjustment assistance is a popular policy for aiding displaced workers. .

245. GDA-14300 Funding for job training programs and the like will typically find its way to labor union slush funds, left-leaning nonprofits, and other progressive causes that will not necessarily help displaced workers. .

246. GDA-14305 Trade adjustment assistance should treat workers who lose their jobs to international trade the same as workers who lose their jobs for any other reason are treated. .

247. GDA-14307 Technological change displaces six times as many workers as trade displaces, yet workers displaced by technology get no special treatment. .

248. GDA-14310 Trade-displaced workers should be eligible for the same benefits for which anyone else is eligible, no more and no less. .

249. GDA-14419 On balance, a single voice at the negotiating table that is subject to congressional oversight is the best posture for American workers and consumers. .

250. GDA-14523 Instead, the IPEF negotiations are focusing entirely on non-trade issues like climate and labor policy --- issues that give progressives opportunities to impose their policies on other countries and provide rent-seeking opportunities for labor unions and politically connected businesses in renewable energy and other favored industries. .
