Employment Law
American job creators help workers provide for their families and lead healthy, secure, and fulfilling lives. The Chamber advocates for federal and state-level policies that improve the business climate and drive economic growth while providing opportunities for workers to thrive.
Our Work
The U.S. Chamber works with leaders at the U.S. Department of Labor, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, Congressional committees, and state legislatures to protect opportunities for independent contractors, promote needed immigration reforms to welcome global talent to the American workforce, and preserve every American’s right to work.
