Vote Record	Bill Name	Bill Description
2023-2024 Regular Session (118th)	H.R. 20	Strips away workers’ free choice in union elections and their privacy rights, interferes with employers’ ability to secure legal advice on complex labor matters, expands joint employer liability, prohibits the use of arbitration for employment matters, and strips away “secondary boycott” protections among other provisions. NRF Position: OPPOSE
2023-2024 Regular Session (118th)	H.R. 3881	This legislation would provide much—needed relief to retailers and consumers by injecting competition into the credit card routing market. Interchange or “swipe” fees totaled a record $160.7 billion in 2022, a $22 billion increase from the previous year. In fact, American retailers and merchants pay the highest swipe fee rates in the world, which has led to swipe fees being most retailers’ highest cost after labor. Read NRF's Key Vote letter. NRF POSITION: SUPPORT.
2023-2024 Regular Session (118th)	H.R. 8639	The bill establishes a broad array of workplace regulations and legal causes of action specific to the warehousing sector that go far beyond protections available to workers in much more physically challenging and dangerous environments. This, despite the fact that warehouse worksites are already regulated at the federal and state level, and aggrieved employees have extensive employment rights under existing law. Notably, the bill would also overturn Congress’s 2001 prohibition on OSHA ever regulating ergonomics in the workplace and would mandate a new ergonomics standard.
