Michigan HB4452 prohibits employers from relocating operations within a year of employees electing a bargaining representative.

Michigan HB4452 amends the state's labor laws to make it an unfair labor practice for an employer to relocate, cease, or subcontract its operations or part of its operations less than one year after its employees elect a bargaining representative. This provision aims to prevent employers from moving operations to avoid collective bargaining. The bill also modifies the procedures for handling unfair labor practice complaints and orders, ensuring that the commission's findings on questions of fact are conclusive if supported by substantial evidence.
