The proposed bill aims to protect workers' rights by prohibiting employers from retaliating against employees who choose not to attend meetings or listen to communications regarding political or religious matters. It establishes that employers, including state entities, cannot discipline or discharge employees for refusing to participate in such activities, nor can they penalize employees for reporting violations of this provision. The bill also clarifies that it does not restrict employers from communicating legally required information or conducting voluntary meetings, nor does it apply to religious organizations regarding speech on religious matters.

Additionally, the bill allows aggrieved employees to file civil actions in superior court within 90 days of an alleged violation, with the potential for various forms of relief, including reinstatement and back pay. Employers are required to post notices informing employees of their rights under this legislation. The bill is officially titled the "employee free choice act," emphasizing its focus on safeguarding employees' freedom to choose whether to engage in discussions about political or religious topics in the workplace.
