AI Summary
This bill aims to provide severance pay and notice requirements for employers who relocate or terminate a "covered establishment" - an industrial, commercial, or healthcare facility with 100 or more employees. Specifically, the bill requires employers to provide one week's pay for each year of employment to eligible employees upon relocation or termination, with some exceptions. Employers must also notify the Secretary of Labor at least 60 days prior to the relocation, with a civil penalty for failure to do so. The bill is intended to provide protections for workers affected by plant closures or relocations.
