Prohibit criminal history questions on job applications and postpone background checks

Expand broadband availability and adoption in unserved and underserved areas through initiatives that address infrastructure and cost barriers

Provide confidential worksite-based counseling and referrals to employees to address personal and workplace challenges

Offer employees control over an aspect of their schedule through arrangements such as flex time, flex hours, compressed work weeks, or self-scheduled shift work

Offer programs to help individuals without a high school diploma or its equivalent achieve a high school equivalency credential

Organize workers to bargain collectively for improved wages, benefits, and working conditions

Provide employees with paid time off for circumstances such as a recent birth or adoption, a parent or spouse with a serious medical condition, or a sick child
