Bill Summary

Relative to collective bargaining dues. Labor and Workforce Development.

AI Summary

This bill makes several changes to the laws governing collective bargaining dues in Massachusetts. It allows exclusive representatives (unions) to charge non-members for the costs of grievances and arbitrations brought at the non-member's request. It limits the duty of fair representation for unions to just negotiating and enforcing the collective bargaining agreement, allowing them to provide certain services only to members. The bill also requires public employers to provide access to unions for meetings with members and new hires, and to share employee contact information with the union. Finally, it allows payroll deductions for union dues to be irrevocable for up to one year.
