Labor and Employment

The U.S. Chamber promotes workplace policies that enhance economic growth and job creation. To that end, the Litigation Center regularly challenges aggressive, atextual expansion of federal statutes, as well as attempts by the plaintiffs’ bar to expand liability on worker classification, wage and hour, and discrimination issues. 

The Litigation Center also pushes back against overreach by the NLRB to protect the rights of workers and employers. And in state courts, the Litigation Center actively defends employer free speech and flexible employment models that offer opportunities for independent workers and small businesses.
