Easier Employer Discipline for Harassment During Strikes and Pickets.
This bill changes the rules regarding disciplining employees who commit harassment or abuse during strikes and picketing activities. It makes it easier for employers to take disciplinary action in such cases, as it raises the bar for proving the action was an unfair labor practice intended to suppress union activity. Employees should understand that legal protection for union activities does not extend to acts of harassment.
Key points
Labor Law Change: Employers gain an easier path to discipline employees for harassment or abuse committed during protected activities like strikes or picketing.
Burden of Proof Shift: To prove the discipline was an unfair labor practice, those challenging the employer must first show the employer acted with hostility toward the protected union activity.
