Bill > S0254

This bill proposes several key provisions related to union organizing: 1. It requires public employers to provide employee contact information (name, job title, work location, phone number, email, home address, etc.) to employee organizations that are seeking to organize a collective bargaining unit or demonstrate lack of majority support for the current bargaining agent. 2. It provides for the automatic deduction of public employee union dues from members' paychecks upon their written authorization. 3. It permits unions to meet with new public employees for at least 60 minutes to provide information about union membership. 4. It requires public employers to provide unions that are the exclusive representative of a bargaining unit with an annual list of all employees in that unit, including their contact information. The bill aims to facilitate union organizing and membership among public sector workers in Vermont by increasing access to employee information and providing opportunities for unions to communicate with both new hires and the broader bargaining unit.
