U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D–WI) joined other lawmakers in introducing two bills to make the tax code fairer for workers by easing their tax burden and cracking down on corporate anti-union practices.
The Tax Fairness for Workers Act would allow workers to deduct common employment expenses such as travel and uniform costs, restoring a deduction stripped by the 2017 Trump tax law. Workers will be able to deduct business expenses, just as employers can. The bill would also allow workers to deduct their union dues.
The No Tax Breaks for Union Busting Act would end taxpayer subsidization of anti-union activities by preventing corporations from deducting their union-busting expenses from their taxes.
