Bill Summary

For legislation relative to collective bargaining dues. Labor and Workforce Development.

AI Summary

This bill proposes several key changes regarding collective bargaining dues: 1. It protects the privacy of public employees by making their home addresses, personal email addresses, and home/mobile phone numbers non-public records, except for disclosure to employee organizations representing them in collective bargaining. 2. It allows employee organizations to require non-members to pay for the reasonable costs and fees, including arbitrator and attorney fees, for grieving or arbitrating a matter on the non-member's behalf. 3. It limits the exclusive representative's duty of fair representation to the negotiation and enforcement of the collective bargaining agreement, and allows the organization to provide legal, economic, or job-related services only to its members. 4. It grants exclusive representatives access to meet with bargaining unit members, including new hires, and use the employer's email system and facilities for union-related matters. 5. It establishes procedures for payroll deduction of union dues or fees, including irrevocable authorization periods and notification requirements for revocation.
