A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO THE HAWAII LABOR RELATIONS BOARD.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Section 377-9, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (d) to read as follows:
"(d) After the final hearing, the board
shall promptly make and file an order or decision, incorporating findings of
fact upon all the issues involved in the controversy and the determination of
the rights of the parties. Pending the final determination of the controversy
the board may, after hearing, make interlocutory orders which may be enforced
in the same manner as final orders. Final orders may dismiss the complaint or
require the person complained of to cease and desist from the unfair labor
practices found to have been committed, suspend the person's rights,
immunities, privileges, or remedies granted or afforded by this chapter for not
more than one year, and require the person to take affirmative action,
including reinstatement of employees and make orders in favor of employees
making them whole, including back pay with interest, costs, and attorneys'
fees. Any order in favor of an employer may require the payment of costs
and attorneys' fees to that employer. Any order may further require the
person to make reports from time to time showing the extent to which the person
has complied with the order. Furthermore, an employer [or], employee,
or labor organization who wilfully or repeatedly commits unfair or
prohibited practices that interfere with the statutory rights of an employer or
employees or discriminates against an employer or employees for the exercise of
protected conduct shall be subject to a civil penalty not to exceed $10,000 for
each violation. In determining the amount of any penalty under this section,
the board shall consider the gravity of the unfair or prohibited practice and
the impact of the practice on the charging party, on other persons seeking to
exercise rights guaranteed by this section, or on public interest."
SECTION 3. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2010.
