Bill > HF2896

This bill modifies existing Minnesota labor laws to provide teachers who are union members with more flexibility in allocating their union dues and to ensure they are informed of their rights. Specifically, the bill allows private and public school teachers who are union members to choose how their union dues are allocated, giving them the option to direct their dues to local, state, or national organizations of their preference. The bill requires exclusive representatives (unions) to inform teachers about this allocation option and clearly display it on any dues deduction authorization forms. Additionally, the bill mandates that unions notify teachers about their legal rights, including the federal law that prohibits them from being compelled to join a union or pay dues against their will. The changes affect multiple sections of Minnesota statutes related to payroll deductions, political fund contributions, and labor organization practices, with the goal of providing teachers more autonomy and transparency in their union membership and dues allocation.
