Protecting the Right to Organize: New Rules for Workers and Unions

These provisions aim to regulate employee representation and protect against specific retaliatory actions.
Key points

Penalties for Violations: Employers may be subject to civil penalties of up to $50,000 (or $100,000 for repeat offenses) for unfair labor practices.
Mediation and Arbitration: Mediation and tripartite arbitration procedures are introduced if no agreement is reached during initial collective bargaining.
Employee Definition: The definition of an employee is amended to include an ABC test, limiting the classification of individuals as independent contractors.
