Fairness in Filing Act

This bill would change the National Labor Relations Act to require that unfair labor practice charges be filed in good faith. The National Labor Relations Board could not issue a complaint unless the charge includes documented evidence from an identified source, or a statement from the filer that they cannot provide such documentation along with a description of the evidence. Before a hearing, the Board would have to let the accused person inspect, copy, test, or sample the evidence to be used against them. A person who files a charge not in good faith, or who repeatedly files frivolous charges, could be fined up to $5,000.
