Bill Summary

Relative to the payment of fair share provisions of employees choosing not to join a union. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill amends the second paragraph of Section 12 of Chapter 150E of the General Laws to require that if an agency service fee is not negotiated in a collective bargaining agreement, the fair share provision shall apply to any employee who chooses not to join the union. This means that such employees must pay a percentage of the union dues to cover the cost of negotiations for wages, benefits, working conditions, and grievance and arbitration rights. Failure to pay the fair share provision will exclude the employee from any relief under the collective bargaining agreement, except for negotiated cost-of-living adjustments (COLA) increases.
