Bill > SB362

This bill amends various Kentucky statutes related to employment and labor organizations. Key provisions include: - Deleting restrictions on the rights of public employees to organize, associate collectively, or strike. - Limiting the definition of "labor organization" and removing definitions of "employer" and "employee." - Allowing urban-county governments, consolidated local governments, and public employers to make agreements with labor organizations to require membership as a condition of employment. - Removing exceptions that previously limited the collective bargaining rights of certain public employees, such as police, firefighters, and corrections personnel. - Repealing statutes that prohibited requirements for employers to pay certain wages or fringe benefits, and that required public employees to provide written consent for deduction of union dues. The bill aims to expand the rights of both public and private employees to organize, bargain collectively, and engage in strikes and other concerted activities, while also allowing public employers to enter into agreements with labor organizations.
