Respect for Workers Act

This bill (S 496) amends the Federal Reserve Act to require that at least one member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors appointed after the bill's enactment must have "demonstrated primary experience in supporting or protecting the rights of workers." The provision designates this member as the lead for promoting maximum employment policy. It does not create new worker protections or alter workplace regulations; it only changes the qualifications for Federal Reserve Board appointments. The bill is procedural, focusing solely on the composition of the Federal Reserve Board.
