The bill adds new requirements and penalties for filing unfair labor practice charges, specifically targeting those not filed in good faith or deemed frivolous.

  • 29 U.S.C. 160(b)

    Provided, → Provided, That no complaint shall issue unless the charge filed with the Board includes (1) documentation of evidence (including an affidavit, photo, video, email, text message, or other evidence determined appropriate by the Board) from an identified source supporting the charge, or (2) a certification by the person filing the charge that the person is unable to include such documentation and a description of the relevant evidence: Provided further,

    This change ensures that complaints cannot be issued without proper documentation or certification, thereby restricting frivolous charges.

  • 29 U.S.C. 160(b)

    The Board shall, before the hearing, produce to the person, and permit the person or a representative of the person to inspect, copy, test, or sample, any evidence to be used to determine whether the person has engaged in or is engaging in an unfair labor practice.

    This requires the Board to share evidence with the accused party before the hearing, enhancing transparency.

  • 29 U.S.C. 162

    Sec. 12. Any person → SEC. 12. PENALTIES. (a) Violations for Interference With Board.--Any person

    This change restructures the penalties section, categorizing violations regarding interference with the Board.

  • 29 U.S.C. 162

    (b) Violations for Filing Bad Faith or Frivolous Charges.--Any person who files a charge under section 10(b) not in good faith or engages in a pattern or practice of filing frivolous charges under such section, including a pattern or practice of filing charges that do not satisfy the requirement for documentation of evidence or certification under the first proviso of such section, shall be punished by a fine of not more than $5,000.

    This introduces penalties for individuals who file unfair labor practice charges in bad faith or without sufficient evidence.
