Bill > H0293

This bill proposes to establish a union agent-represented worker privilege that allows employees and former employees to refuse to disclose confidential communications with union agents. The privilege covers information, including advice, transmitted in confidence between a represented employee or former employee and a union agent. There are exceptions to the privilege, such as if the union agent believes disclosure is necessary to prevent a criminal act likely to result in death or serious bodily injury, or in criminal proceedings in the Criminal Division of the Superior Court. The bill also outlines when a union agent may or must disclose a confidential communication.
