New labor reform proposals making the rounds in Washington, are being pitched as a win for workers. But a closer look reveals they could do the opposite—expanding government control, adding unnecessary costs, and making it harder for businesses to hire and pay employees.
Informed Decisions, Not Rushed Votes: Workers deserve time to make informed choices about unionization—not a rushed 20-day deadline that limits transparency and understanding.
Agreements That Work for Everyone: Workplace contracts should be shaped by employees and employers, not imposed mandates that reduce flexibility and limit choices.
Fairness Over Punishment: Excessive fines for minor mistakes hurt small businesses and job growth. Clear, fair policies encourage compliance without unnecessary burdens.
Modern Solutions, Not Outdated Rules: Reviving ineffective mandates from decades ago adds costs without real benefits. Policies should evolve with today’s workforce, not hold it back.
WY it Matters: Wyoming’s economy is built on small businesses and industries that depend on flexibility and fair policies to stay competitive. Unnecessary regulations and rigid mandates could stifle growth, making it harder to hire, expand, and keep local businesses thriving. Wyoming succeeds when businesses have the freedom to innovate, create jobs, and invest in their communities—that’s the power of free enterprise. The government should prioritize solutions that make it easier—not harder—to earn a paycheck, meet payroll, and hire. Leaders must reject proposals that harm workers and businesses in their communities.
