This bill establishes a new chapter in Title 49 RCW that places agricultural workers involved in the cultivation, growing, harvesting, or production of cannabis under the jurisdiction of the Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC) for collective bargaining purposes. It defines key terms such as "employee," "employer," "collective bargaining," and "labor dispute," and outlines the rights of employees to organize and select their bargaining representatives without interference from employers. The bill mandates that the commission intervene in disputes regarding the selection of bargaining representatives and sets forth procedures for determining appropriate bargaining units and conducting elections.

Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities of employers regarding the deduction of union dues, the provision of employee information to bargaining representatives, and the prohibition of unfair labor practices by both employers and bargaining representatives. It empowers the commission to prevent such practices and issue remedial orders, while also allowing for binding arbitration of labor disputes. The bill emphasizes the importance of maintaining labor-management relations and provides mechanisms for enforcement and compliance, ensuring that the rights of agricultural workers in the cannabis industry are protected.
