Concerns discrimination based on membership in a labor organization.

This bill amends New Jersey's anti-discrimination law to explicitly include labor organizations as protected categories, ensuring that individuals cannot face discrimination based on their membership in such groups. By updating the legal definition of "labor organization," the legislation clarifies that this protection covers unions and other employee representation committees formed for collective bargaining or addressing employment conditions. The changes directly affect employers, hiring entities, and employment agencies by prohibiting them from treating job applicants or employees differently because of their union status. Additionally, the bill expands the definition of "employer" to ensure these protections apply broadly across private and public sectors.
