Working Families Flexibility Act (S. 1623)
Sometimes time is more valuable than money. Unfortunately for many private-sector workers, federal law forces them to take financial compensation for working extra hours without the option to take comp time. The Working Families Flexibility Act frees workers to choose whether time or money is more important and helps alleviate the difficulties of juggling work, home, kids, and community. It would extend the same choice to those in the private sector that Congress already guarantees to government workers, while maintaining all existing employee protections.
Allows private employers to offer employees the option of overtime pay or comp time

National Right to Work Act (S. 204)
All hard-working Americans should be free to choose whether or not to join or contribute to a union. The National Right to Work Act would reform federal policy that imposes financial burdens on many low-income and middle-class workers who are compelled to support a union.
Eliminates forced unionism provisions in the National Labor Relations Act and the Railway Labor Act

Employee Rights Act (S. 1712)
The workplace should be an environment free of intimidation, coercion and fear. The Employee Rights Act updates labor laws to protect workers' rights, safeguard against union intimidation, and make union elections more democratic.
Strengthens secret ballots in labor elections
Protects workers' private information
Prevents automatic union dues
Stiffens penalties for union intimidation
