• Notification of Employee Rights Under Federal Labor Laws

  Requires federal contractors to post a notice informing employees that they have a right to join or not to join a union. (Under the previous President, the notice informed employees that they had a right not to join a union.)

  Denies federal contractors reimbursement for funds spent to "persuade employees ... to exercise or not to exercise ... the right to organize and bargain collectively."

• Nondisplacement of Qualified Workers Under Service Contracts

  Requires government contractors who take over a service contract from an existing provider to retain qualified employees of the previous provider.
