115TH CONGRESS REPORT
1st Session SENATE 115-3
TO CLARIFY THE RIGHTS OF INDIANS AND INDIAN
TRIBES ON INDIAN LANDS UNDER THE NATIONAL
LABOR RELATIONS ACT
FEBRUARY 17, 2017.-Ordered to be printed
Mr. HOEVEN, from the Committee on Indian Affairs,
submitted the following
REPORT
[To accompany S. 63]
The Committee on Indian Affairs, to which was referred the bill
(S. 63), to clarify the rights of Indians and Indian tribes on Indian
lands under the National Labor Relations Act, having considered
the same, reports favorably thereon without amendment and rec-
ommends that the bill do pass.
PURPOSE
The purpose of S. 63 would amend and clarify the National Labor
Relations Act (NLRA or the Act) so that federally-recognized Indian
tribes, tribal governments, and tribally-owned and operated institu-
tions and enterprises that are located on its Indian lands would be
provided equity and parity under the law with respect to other gov-
ernmental employers.
NEED FOR LEGISLATION
The NLRA was enacted by Congress in 1935 to ensure fair labor
practices and it explicitly excluded Federal and state govern-
mental 1 employers from the federal labor law. Indian tribes, tribal
governments, and tribally-owned and operated institutions and en-
terprises were never defined, mentioned, or excluded from the law.
The National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB or the Board) deci-
sions and orders, have varied in the applicability of the Act on In-
dian tribes, and their institutions or enterprises.
IIncluding any corporations wholly-owned by these governmental entities.
