AI Summary

This bill proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to establish workers' rights. The key provisions include: (1) granting employees the fundamental right to organize and bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing to negotiate wages, hours, working conditions, and workplace safety; and (2) prohibiting any law or ordinance that interferes with or diminishes this right, including those that prohibit agreements between employers and labor organizations requiring membership as a condition of employment (also known as "union security" agreements). The bill outlines the process for amending the state constitution, including the requirement for the proposed amendment to be passed by the General Assembly twice and then submitted to the qualified electors for approval.
