Bill Text

PAG LIN
  1  1    Section 1.  Section 20.9, unnumbered paragraph 1, Code
  1  2 1999, is amended to read as follows:
  1  3    The public employer and the employee organization shall
  1  4 meet at reasonable times, including meetings reasonably in
  1  5 advance of the public employer's budget-making process, to
  1  6 negotiate in good faith with respect to wages, hours,
  1  7 vacations, insurance, holidays, leaves of absence, shift
  1  8 differentials, overtime compensation, supplemental pay,
  1  9 seniority, transfer procedures, job classifications, health
  1 10 and safety matters, evaluation procedures, procedures for
  1 11 staff reduction, in-service training and other matters
  1 12 mutually agreed upon.  Negotiations shall also include terms
  1 13 authorizing dues checkoff for members of the employee
  1 14 organization and grievance procedures for resolving any
  1 15 questions arising under the agreement, which shall be embodied
  1 16 in a written agreement and signed by the parties.  If an
  1 17 agreement provides for dues checkoff, a member's dues may be
  1 18 checked off only upon the member's written request and the
  1 19 member may terminate the dues checkoff at any time by giving
  1 20 thirty days' written notice.  Such obligation to negotiate in
  1 21 good faith does not compel either party to agree to a proposal
  1 22 or make a concession.
  1 23    Sec. 2.  Section 70A.17A, Code 1999, is amended by striking
  1 24 the section and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
  1 25    70A.17A  PAYROLL DEDUCTION FOR DUES – PROHIBITED.
  1 26    The state officer in charge of the payroll system shall be
  1 27 prohibited from deducting from the salary or wages of a state
  1 28 officer or employee an amount specified by the officer or
  1 29 employee for payment to a professional or trade organization
  1 30 for dues or membership fees.
  1 31    Sec. 3.  Section 70A.19, Code 1999, is repealed.  
  1 32                           EXPLANATION
  1 33    This bill prohibits deductions from the pay of state
  1 34 employees for payment of dues or membership fees for a
  1 35 professional or trade organization or for dues to an employee
  2  1 organization.  The bill also provides that the scope of
  2  2 employee negotiations for public employees shall not include
  2  3 consideration of terms authorizing a dues checkoff for members
  2  4 of the employee organization involved in collective
  2  5 bargaining.
