Labor bill would widen strikebreaker ban in Pennsylvania
In a critical measure the House Labor Relations Committee weighs House Bill 2144 to extend the 1972 anti strikebreaker law to include nonstriking employees and management in the definition. If enacted it could bar nonunion personnel from replacing strikers with severe penalties and potential loss of essential services. The measure draws strong opposition from the Pennsylvania Chamber of Commerce, which warns of disrupted operations and risks to public safety if nonstriking staff cannot perform striker duties during a walkout. The bill would redefine strikebreaker to cover officers and nonstriking workers who knowingly fill in for strikers, with fines up to 2000 dollars and up to three years in prison.
