What the measure doesCRS summary

(This measure has not been amended since it was reported to the House on July 25, 2011. The summary of that version is repeated here.)

Protecting Jobs From Government Interference Act - Amends the National Labor Relations Act to deny the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) any power to: (1) order an employer (or seek an order against an employer) to restore or reinstate any work, product, production line, or equipment; (2) rescind any relocation, transfer, subcontracting, outsourcing, or other change regarding the location, entity, or employer who shall be engaged in production or other business operations; or (3) require any employer to make an initial or additional investment at a particular plant, facility, or location.

Applies the amendment made by this Act to any complaint for which a final adjudication by the NLRB has not been made by the date of enactment.
