          <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Expanding Labor Representation in the Workforce System Act&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This bill increases from 20% to 30% the workforce representation on state and local workforce development boards.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Workforce development boards perform a variety of functions to carry out the programs and services authorized under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, including by developing and implementing plans for workforce development and investment activities. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Current law specifies that boards must include representatives of labor organizations, among others with relevant expertise. The bill specifies that labor organizations include organizations that&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;are considered labor organizations based on the definition included in the National Labor Relations Act (e.g., unions); &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;are composed of labor organizations (e.g., a labor union federation or a state or municipal labor body); or&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; would be considered labor organizations but for the fact that the organization represents agricultural laborers&amp;nbsp;or  individuals employed by a federal agency, a government&amp;nbsp;corporation, a Federal Reserve Bank, a state or local government, or an employer that is subject to the Railway Labor Act.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</text>
