The bill requires employers to share employees’ name, home address, cell phone number, work address location, and personal email address with labor representatives every 90 days.
This is a means for Democrats to provide personal information including home addresses of employees who opt out of union representation. It is a violation of personal privacy and workers should be the ones who decide who their employer can share their personal information with.
Sen. Thomas Albert, R-Lowell, said the bill is an “unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.” Albert said there were no additional safeguards to protect personal information, and added that a bill substitute that wasn’t adopted yet also aimed to divulge employee wage to unions too.
Sen. Nesbitt voted no.
