Creating WV Workplace Security Act

SB 713, the West Virginia Workplace Security Act, prohibits specific types of picketing that block workplace access, disrupt public travel, or target private residences. It directly affects employers, workers, and labor organizations by making mass picketing that hinders work, obstructs entrances, or blocks roads unlawful. Key provisions allow employers to seek immediate court orders to stop prohibited activity without proving "irreparable harm," and impose fines of $1,000 per day for individuals or $10,000 per day for unions that violate the law. The bill also requires fines to be paid to the court, with compensation for business losses directed to affected employers.
