Bill > SB00221

This bill aims to modify existing Connecticut state statutes (specifically chapters 68 and 113) to mandate that collective bargaining agreements and related employee notices include a clear and easily visible statement informing employees of their right to choose not to be a member of a labor union or employee organization. By requiring this explicit disclosure, the bill seeks to ensure that public employees are fully aware of their voluntary participation options with regards to union membership. The legislation is designed to provide transparency about workers' rights to opt out of union membership, potentially giving employees more clarity about their employment and association choices. The bill does not seek to eliminate unions or collective bargaining, but rather to ensure that employees are prominently informed about their freedom to choose whether or not to join a union, which could be particularly important in workplaces with union representation.
