Bill overview
This bill establishes a new evidentiary privilege for communications between union agents and represented employees or former employees. It protects confidential discussions made during the union agent’s role as a representative, allowing employees to prevent others from disclosing these communications, except in specific circumstances like legal proceedings or when disclosure is necessary to prevent harm. The privilege can be waived, but not in criminal cases, and it doesn't apply to communications made to expose criminal activity.
