Posts - Bill - S 1381 Protecting Employees and Retirees in Business Bankruptcies Act of 2025
senate 04/09/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to strengthen protections for employees and retirees when companies file for bankruptcy by prioritizing their wages, benefits, and pensions, while also limiting excessive executive compensation and promoting fair negotiations with labor organizations. Our goal is to ensure workers don’t bear the brunt of bankruptcies and that jobs and retiree benefits are preserved whenever possible.
