Yellowhammer Times

U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) has joined Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) in reintroducing the Employee Rights Act of 2025. The legislation aims to reinforce the rights of American workers and promote fairness and accountability in the workplace. The bill outlines the Republican approach to supporting the workforce by encouraging opportunity, safeguarding worker rights and privacy, and fostering a foundation for growth.

In a statement, Senator Tuberville criticized recent regulatory actions: “The Biden administration imposed crushing regulations that put American workers last and sent jobs overseas,” said Sen. Tuberville. “Thanks to President Trump, American jobs are coming back in droves. But we have to make sure we have a pro-business regulatory environment that will ensure accountability and empower workers to thrive.”

Senator Scott emphasized the importance of supporting workers: “We must continue to empower Americans to work hard, earn a living, and provide for their families while creating a labor system that is fair, transparent, and responsive to the needs of today’s workforce,” said Sen. Scott. “I’m proud to lead legislation that provides workers with the necessary tools and protections to build a stronger, more prosperous workforce.”

Other senators co-sponsoring the bill include John Barrasso (R-WY), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Mike Crapo (R-ID), John Hoeven (R-ND), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS), and Jim Risch (R-ID). Congressman Rick Allen (R-GA-12) introduced companion legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Senator Tuberville serves Alabama in the U.S. Senate and is a member of several committees, including Armed Services, Agriculture, Veterans’ Affairs, Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP), and Aging.
