Bill > HB1554

This bill amends the existing law on public employee labor relations in New Hampshire. The key provisions are: (1) Certification of an exclusive representative remains valid but must be recertified by a majority vote of the bargaining unit when the majority of members have never voted on the issue of collective representation; (2) All members of a bargaining unit must be allowed to participate in any recertification or change in bargaining unit representation vote; (3) If a majority votes to decertify the unit, a new bargaining unit can be established by a majority vote within 12 months; and (4) Documentation of the votes must be provided to the Department of Labor within 30 days. The bill aims to ensure democratic participation in decisions about collective bargaining representation.
