Bill Summary

Amending the act of July 23, 1970 (P.L.563, No.195), entitled "An act establishing rights in public employes to organize and bargain collectively through selected representatives; defining public employes to include employes of nonprofit organizations and institutions; providing compulsory mediation and fact-finding, for collective bargaining impasses; providing arbitration for certain public employes for collective bargaining impasses; defining the scope of collective bargaining; establishing unfair employe and employer practices; prohibiting strikes for certain public employes; permitting strikes under limited conditions; providing penalties for violations; and establishing procedures for implementation," in employee rights, providing for conditions of collective bargaining agreement; and, in scope of bargaining, further providing for maintenance of membership.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Public Employe Relations Act to prohibit collective bargaining agreements from establishing conditions for when a public employee may join or resign from an employee organization acting as the exclusive representative of a unit. Additionally, the bill removes "maintenance of membership" as a proper subject of collective bargaining, meaning new agreements cannot contain provisions related to maintaining union membership.
