Bill overview
This bill changes how public employee unions can be certified as the exclusive bargaining representative. Currently, a union must petition and win a hearing to be certified. This bill allows the commission to certify a union based on a petition alone, followed by a hearing if necessary. It also clarifies the process for challenging a union's certification and establishes rules for elections when a collective bargaining agreement is in place.
