PROTECT WORKERS, NOT LABOR ACT

1. No collective bargaining agreement or employment contract entered into in Atlasia shall be permitted to prioritize layoffs, promotions, hirings, firings, pay scales, severance packages, or any other bargaining term based upon any protected class status protecting by federal law; nor shall any such agreement or contract require participation by a party thereto in any training, activity, or event that is segregated on the basis of such a protected class. Any existing agreement or contract that violates this act is hereby declared to be against the public policy of Atlasia and is null and void.

2. No union, bargaining agent, guild, or other labor organization shall limit the right of any member thereof to institute an action in any court, or in a proceeding before any administrative agency, irrespective of whether or not the labor organization or its officers are named as defendants or respondents in such action or proceeding, or the right of any member of a labor organization to appear as a witness in any judicial, administrative, or legislative proceeding, or to petition any legislature or to communicate with any legislator, or to speak publicly to anyone on any matter of public concern or pertaining to employment or labor issues provided that:

A. Any such member may be required to exhaust reasonable hearing procedures (but not to exceed a four (4) month lapse of time) within such organization, before instituting legal or administrative proceedings against such organizations or any officer thereof.

3. No member of any union, bargaining agent, guild, or other[/b] labor organization may be fined, suspended, expelled, or otherwise disciplined by such organization except for severe nonpayment of dues.

4. In any election conducted pursuant to federal law for the certification or decertification of a union, guild, or other labor organization as an exclusive bargaining unit, the right of the workers to vote in such election by Australian ballot (aka secret ballot) shall not be infringed; and no such certification or decertification of such an organization as an exclusive bargaining unit shall occur except upon the affirmative vote by a majority of such workers, selected by Australian ballot and counted openly and publicly immediately after such vote.

5. Any provision of the constitution and bylaws of any labor organisation that is inconsistent with the provisions of this section shall be of no force or effect.

6. This act shall take effect thirty (30) days from the date this legislation is passed.

Passed 8-1-0-9 in the Atlasian Senate Assembled.
