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.
