Amends the National Labor Relations Act to change how unfair labor practice (ULP) charges are filed and how evidence is inspected, and creates a new penalty for bad‑faith or frivolous ULP filings. The measure lets the agency assess fines of up to $5,000 against persons who file charges not in good faith or who engage in a pattern of frivolous charges.
The changes affect workers, unions, employers, and the National Labor Relations Board’s handling of complaints. Intended effects include deterring repeated or baseless filings, while potential downsides include a risk that legitimate complaints could be chilled and more litigation over whether filings are in good faith.
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
