An Act relative to the confidentiality of communications of information of labor organizations
This bill protects confidential communications between labor organizations (like unions) and employees when handling workplace grievances. It prohibits forcing unions or their agents to disclose such communications, except in specific situations: to prevent serious harm or death (subsection c), or to stop crimes/fraud that could cause major financial damage (subsection d). The law also prevents courts from drawing negative conclusions if a union refuses to disclose protected information (subsection e). This directly affects unions, their agents, and employees involved in grievance processes.
