  • Create additional right-to-work states.
  • Restrict employers’ right to access social media sites.
  • Allow employees to bring weapons onto their employers’ premises.
  • Limit employers’ right to conduct credit and criminal background checks.
  • Expand the groups protected against discrimination.
  • Provide paid and unpaid leave.

Bills proposed between the time of this announcement and the conference will also be covered. The session will conclude with 10 recommendations to increase the effectiveness of your grassroots advocacy.
