Urging the State of Alabama to acknowledge and adopt the temporary workers' bill of rights for the betterment of the state and its workforce
This resolution (HJR 62) urges the State of Alabama to adopt a "Temporary Workers' Bill of Rights" but does not create binding law. It proposes specific standards for temporary workers, including requiring fair pay, safety training, clear assignment details, prohibiting fees for background checks, banning forced arbitration, limiting assignment lengths (90 days max), and mandating offers of permanent roles after 90 days (or 180 days for medical leave exceptions). The resolution directly addresses temporary staffing agencies and host employers in Alabama, outlining 12 key provisions to improve working conditions. As a non-binding resolution, it expresses legislative support but would require separate action to become law.
