SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Labor organizations; privileged communications and information. Prohibits a labor organization or its agent from being compelled to disclose under specified circumstances a communication or information received or acquired in confidence while acting in a representative capacity concerning an employee grievance. The privilege applies to the extent that (i) a communication or information is germane to a grievance of the employee and (ii) the grievance is a subject matter of an investigation, a grievance proceeding, or other proceeding. The privilege does not protect the employee from being compelled to disclose facts underlying the communication or information. A labor organization or its agent is required to disclose a privileged communication or information to the employer if disclosure is necessary to prevent certain death or substantial bodily harm. The privilege does not apply in criminal proceedings.
