The bill would expand workplace protections and enforcement for legislative-branch employees under the Congressional Accountability Act. It would give the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights enhanced occupational-safety enforcement and recordkeeping authority, prohibit related retaliation, and extend protections for whistleblowing, garnishment, bankruptcy, parental bereavement leave, juror service, and employment discrimination records. It would also authorize temporary relief in unfair-labor-practice cases, open certain hearings and deliberations to the public, and require mediation when a covered employee requests it. Several provisions would take effect after implementing regulations, with interim rules applying in some cases.
