MN HF1765

Requires employers of hospitality workers on state-funded qualifying projects to negotiate and execute labor peace agreements with interested labor organizations before receiving state financial assistance.

Applies to projects in first-class cities involving hotels, food and beverage operations at sports facilities or convention centers, cultural venues with catering, or supporting infrastructure, where the state provides at least $2,000,000 in funding through grants, loans, guarantees, tax abatements, or other financial participation.

Labor peace agreements must prohibit picketing, work stoppages, boycotts, and economic interference for the duration of the state's financial interest or five years, whichever is longer, and require binding arbitration for employment disputes.

Allows either party to petition for binding arbitration through the Bureau of Mediation Services if negotiations reach impasse, with arbitrators determining whether the labor organization has imposed arbitrary or capricious conditions.

Exempts projects receiving less than $2,000,000 in state funds and does not apply to projects with existing valid collective bargaining agreements; does not require employer recognition of any particular labor organization.
