|
| | | Sec. 5. Application. This Act applies only to the prohibited | | activity that occurs on or after the effective date of this Act. |
|
| | | This bill prohibits the recruitment or employment of | | professional strikebreakers and defines the term "professional | | strikebreaking activity" so that the bill applies only to those | | persons or organizations that have made a practice of supplying | | replacement workers during labor disputes. |
|
| | | The prohibition may be enforced through a civil action filed | | by any interested party. The employment of replacement workers | | as security guards or as maintenance workers is exempt from the | | prohibition, as is the employment of permanent employees who | | choose to work during a strike. |
|
| | | Currently, the employment during a strike of a person who | | customarily and repeatedly offers services in place of a striking | | worker is a crime, punishable by a fine of up to $300 or 180 days | | in jail, or both. This bill repeals that provision. |
