Strengthening the rights of workers through collective bargaining by addressing authorizations and revocations, certifications, and the authority to deduct and accept union dues and fees.

  • Removes union security provisions from various collective bargaining statutes.
  • Creates provisions for employees to provide electronic or recorded voice authorization to deduct membership dues.
  • Authorizes a cross-check process to determine union representation for certain public employees, upon a showing of interest of 50 percent of the employees in the bargaining unit.
