Proposed regulations on local government Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBA)
Support the proposed regulations as protection for worker's democratic rights.
The proposed regulation would protect public employees’ right to a secret ballot in union representation elections.
Deduction of union dues should only occur upon clear, written authorization by the employee.
Union membership solicitations during working hours should be prohibited.
Union membership solicitations by direct supervisors should be prohibited this may lead to workplace intimidation and harassment.
Workers should be able to choose how they are contacted or what limits they prefer.
