Summary

HB 1404 adds a new rule that the Indiana law limiting injunctions in labor disputes does not apply when an employee seeks a restraining order to stop unlawful violence or a credible threat of violence that arises from a personal dispute with another employee, as long as the dispute is not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. The change allows courts to grant protective orders without being blocked by the labor‑injunction restriction, improving safety for workers while preserving collective‑bargaining rights.
