The "Congress Leads by Example Act of 2026" is designed to strengthen workplace protections for employees within the legislative branch of the U.S. government. The legislation aims to enhance enforcement of occupational safety and health standards, provide whistleblower protections, and safeguard employees from discrimination based on various factors, including financial difficulties. Key provisions of the bill empower the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights to issue subpoenas related to workplace safety and health issues.
