Labor: fair employment practices; worker freedom act; create. Creates new act.

House Bill 4455, known as the "Worker Freedom Act," aims to protect employees in Michigan from employer actions related to religious or political matters. The bill prohibits employers from taking adverse employment action, such as discharge or discipline, against an employee who declines to attend or participate in employer-sponsored meetings or communications that convey the employer's opinion on religious or political issues. It also prevents retaliation against employees who report suspected violations of the act. Employees can pursue a civil action for remedies including reinstatement, back pay, and attorney fees if their rights under this act are violated.
