AI Summary
This bill amends the Pennsylvania Labor Relations Act to further define "employee," provide for notice and regulations regarding employee rights, expand unfair labor practices, establish procedures for initial collective bargaining agreements, and enhance penalties for violations. Specifically, it clarifies the definition of an employee, requires employers to post and provide notices about employee rights, prohibits certain employer actions like coercing employees into waiving class or collective claims, and establishes a process for reaching initial collective bargaining agreements. The bill also increases penalties for unfair labor practices that result in serious economic harm to employees.
