SHRM Advocacy Alerts

President Biden has the opportunity to preserve workplace flexibility and predictability by supporting the Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution, H.J.Res.98, which would effectively overturn the National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB) 2023 final rule on joint employer status.

SHRM urges you to send a letter to the President to support this resolution and restore clarity and consistency to the workplace.

The NY State Assembly may consider future legislation regulating the use of noncompete agreements. Your voice can help ensure a measured approach that protects employers and workers without stifling innovation.

SHRM and the California State Council of SHRM (CalSHRM) need your help to defeat AB 2751, a well-intentioned but misguided piece of legislation introduced in the California State Assembly that would prohibit employers from contacting employees outside standard working hours.

Please send a letter to your representative in the California State Assembly and urge them to oppose AB 2751, and instead work with SHRM and CalSHRM on a solution that preserves your ability to manage your workplace effectively and safeguards economic prosperity.
