Massachusetts H2086: Protecting labor and abolishing barriers to organizing rights.

Massachusetts H2086 amends labor laws to protect and expand organizing rights for employees. It redefines "employee" to include those whose work has ceased due to labor disputes and excludes agricultural workers. The bill mandates that labor organizations notify health care institutions and the Department of Labor Relations before strikes. It allows employees to file charges if unfairly denied membership or disciplined by their union. The Department can issue interim injunctive relief if it finds probable cause of unfair labor practices.
