PRO–WORK Act

This bill would bar employers from receiving or spending federal funds while they are locking out their employees. For an employer's first lock-out, the ban would continue after the lock-out ends for a number of days equal to the lock-out's length; for later lock-outs, it would continue for one year. Employers would have to repay federal funds used during lock-outs between January 1, 2026, and the date the bill becomes law. The bill would also deny federal tax credits to corporations for the part of a tax year tied to a first lock-out, and for the whole tax year if another lock-out occurs that year, starting with tax years after 2025.
