Introduced by: Edward L. Schrock | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Collective bargaining. Revises the law relating to the prohibition against collective bargaining by public employees. No government entity is vested with or possesses any authority to acknowledge or sanction, formally or informally, any labor union, local affiliate of a labor union or other employee group, organization or association as an advocate or speaker for or representative of a bargaining agent of any public employees or to bargain collectively or enter into any collective bargaining contract with a union or association or the agents of these groups with respect to any matter concerning public employment. Collective bargaining means, for purposes of this law, devising collective bargaining legislation and lobbying for the enactment of such legislation; organizing employees to be represented by a union employee group, organization or association; negotiating employment conditions; participating in impasse mediation, fact-finding, and arbitration of employment disputes; filing and processing employee grievances and appeals of such grievances; research on terms and conditions of teacher employment; litigating claims relating to unfair labor practices; monitoring and seeking to influence legal and judicial developments affecting union and employee rights, privileges, and responsibilities; publishing documents, pamphlets, and other written materials on events and developments related to collective bargaining, such as union governance costs, conventions, conference committee reports; and providing programs to train labor dispute negotiators and union leaders. The statute permitting the forming of associations to promote the interests of government employees before the employing agency is modified to note that this authorization does not extend to activities defined as collective bargaining.
