Labor: collective bargaining; poster of collective bargaining rights; require certain employers to display at work sites and provide to employees. Amends 1939 PA 176 (MCL 423.1 - 423.30) by adding sec. 8a.
This bill requires employers in Michigan to display a poster detailing employee rights under the National Labor Relations Act at all work sites and provide a digital copy to staff. The Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity will create this poster using materials from the National Labor Relations Board and ensure it is available in English and any other language requested by a labor organization or employer. Employers who fail to comply face civil fines of $5,000 for a first violation and $10,000 for subsequent violations, which are collected by county prosecutors or the attorney general and deposited into the state general fund. The law directly affects businesses with employees and aims to increase awareness of collective bargaining rights through mandatory posting and digital distribution.
