Tribal Labor Sovereignty Act of 2025
This bill amends the National Labor Relations Act to explicitly include Indian Tribes and their enterprises operating on tribal lands under federal labor law. It defines "employer" to cover tribal governments and tribal-owned businesses on Indian lands, directly affecting tribal governments and their workplaces. Key provisions add specific definitions for "Indian Tribe," "Indian," and "Indian lands" to clarify which entities and locations fall under the law. This change brings tribal employers on reservation or trust lands under the same federal labor protections as other employers, expanding the scope of the National Labor Relations Act.
