Bill > AB504

This bill provides that, except as specified, it is not unlawful or a cause for discipline or other adverse action against a public employee to refuse to enter property that is the site of a primary strike, perform work for a public employer involved in a primary strike, or go through or work behind a primary strike line. The bill prohibits public employers from directing public employees to take those actions. The bill also authorizes a recognized employee organization to inform employees of these rights and encourage them to exercise those rights. However, the bill exempts certain public employees of fire departments and certain peace officers from these provisions. Additionally, the bill states that any provision in a public employer policy or collective bargaining agreement that purports to limit or waive these rights shall be void as against public policy, except that the bill requires the parties to negotiate over the bill's provisions if the bill is in conflict with a collective bargaining agreement entered into before January 1, 2024.
