AI Summary

This bill aims to further regulate the right to strike of public employees. It amends Chapter 150E of the General Laws by prohibiting public employees or employee organizations from engaging in a strike, work stoppage, slowdown, or withholding of services, except in cases where the employer has committed unfair labor practices as determined by the Department. The bill grants the Department the authority to investigate strikes and make a determination on whether they were caused by unfair labor practices, in which case the employees' actions would be considered lawful concerted activity.
