Truth in Employment Act of 2007

The Truth in Employment Act of 2007 (H.R. 2670) proposes an amendment to the National Labor Relations Act regarding hiring practices and union activity. The bill would clarify that employers are not legally required to hire individuals who apply for a job primarily to organize a union or serve the interests of an outside employer or agency. If enacted, this legislation would allow businesses to refuse employment to "salts"—individuals who seek jobs at non-union workplaces specifically to organize the workforce from within—without being charged with unfair labor practices.
