Creating WV Workplace Security Act

SB 128, the West Virginia Workplace Security Act, prohibits mass picketing that blocks workplace entrances, obstructs public roads, or targets private residences, and makes it unlawful to hinder lawful work through threats or force. Employers can seek court orders to stop such activities without proving immediate harm, and violators face daily fines of $1,000 for individuals or $10,000 for unions/organizations that continue after a court order. Fines collected must compensate affected employers for business losses, property damage, or lost opportunities. The law applies to all workplaces and public access points but excludes constitutionally protected picketing.
