Convention of States Could Threaten Federal Worker Protections
SCR 1604 asks Congress to call a convention to amend the U.S. Constitution with the goal of limiting federal government power. Federal authority is the legal foundation for the National Labor Relations Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, OSHA, and other bedrock worker protections — a constitutional convention could open the door to weakening or eliminating any of them. Labor opposes this resolution because the risk to working families' rights is too great.
