SB523,1,2
1An Act to create 111.84 (1) (g) and 111.991 (1) (g) of the statutes;
relating to:
2unfair labor practices in violation of collective bargaining rights.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, state employees covered under the State Employment
Labor Relations Act and the faculty and academic staff of the University of Wisconsin
System have similar collective bargaining rights. Current law also specifies unfair
labor practices for these employers, including interfering with employees in the
exercise of their rights to bargain collectively, creating or interfering with any labor
organization, refusing to bargain collectively, and encouraging or discouraging
membership in a labor organization by employment discrimination. This bill makes
it an unfair labor practice for these employers to use any moneys received to
discourage employees from exercising their rights to bargain collectively.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
