The senators are trying to push back on our calls by saying SB 469 about private residences. That is the way they will hide the rest of this bill. Read it yourself! Picketing and protesting will become felonies!

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

SECTION 1.
Chapter 6 of Title 34 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to labor organizations and labor relations, is amended by revising Code Section 34-6-5, relating to interference with public ways of travel, transportation, or conveyance by mass picketing near site of a labor dispute, as follows:
“34-6-5.
(a) It shall be unlawful for any person to engage in mass picketing at or near any place, including private residences, where a labor dispute exists in such number or manner as to obstruct or interfere with or constitute a threat to obstruct or interfere with the entrance to or egress from any place of employment or the free and uninterrupted use of public roads, streets, highways, railroads, airports, or other ways of travel, transportation, or conveyance.

 

(b) A person, or organization that he or she is affiliated with or acting on behalf of, commits an offense when he or she engages in targeted picketing of a private residence that has or intends the effect of interfering with the resident’s right to quiet enjoyment, or when such targeted picketing has or intends the effect of violence or intimidation. This subsection shall not apply to private residences that are also places of employment when targeted picketing relates to or is targeted at such employment.
(c) An employer or other person or entity that is the target of an activity prohibited under subsection (a) of this Code section may bring an action to enjoin the prohibited activity against an individual or organization affiliated with such individual in the circuit court for the county in which the affected employer, person, or entity is located. A court having jurisdiction of an action brought under this subsection shall grant injunctive relief if the court finds that any person, union, or organization has engaged or is engaging in any of the conduct prohibited under subsection (a) of this Code section, without regard to the existence of other remedies, demonstration of irreparable harm, or other factors. The court shall award court costs and reasonable attorney fees to a plaintiff who prevails in an action brought under this subsection.
(d) Failure to comply with an order of the court issued under this Code section may be punished as contempt.
(e) A person who violates subsection (a) of this Code section and has previously been enjoined for a violation of subsection (a) of this Code section is subject to a civil fine of $1,000.00 for each day of the violation. If a union or organization continues to sponsor or assist in the prohibited activity in violation of an injunction, the union or organization is subject to a civil fine of $10,000.00 for each day of the violation. The civil fine assessed under this subsection shall be paid to the court, and, upon a showing of damages to business sales, business opportunities, or property, the employer, person, or entity that was the target of the activity prohibited under subsection (a) of this Code section shall be compensated from the payment made to the court.
(f) An employer that is the target of picketing may obtain injunctive relief against picketers without a showing of irreparable harm if the court finds the picketing to be in violation of subsection (a) of this Code section.”
