Pass TEAM Act employee involvement orgs; allow non-public UI administrators

Mandate backs TEAM Act EIOs/board observers reforming NLRA §8(a)(2), and DOL approval of non-public worker organizations to administer unemployment insurance with political-spending limits.

Mandate

Mandate Ch. 18 (Labor) — Non-Union Worker Voice / States UI: Congress should pass TEAM Act creating Employee Involvement Organizations and allowing non-voting board members; DOL should approve non-public worker organizations as UI administrators under SSA §303 with political spending restrictions and state waivers.

Undo plan

1) Protect NLRA §8(a)(2) against company unions while allowing genuine labor-management safety committees under current law. 2) Keep UI as a public social-insurance system with accountable state agencies. 3) Pilot private admin only with strict anti-corruption, privacy, and neutrality rules—if at all. 4) Fund UI IT fraud defenses without privatizing core eligibility. 5) Verify: UI improper payment rates; time-to-payment; organizing election fairness.
