PAG LIN
1 1 Amend House File 103 as follows:
1 2 #1. Page 1, by inserting after line 7 the
1 3 following:
1 4 "The statement shall include that the right-to-work
1 5 means that unions and management cannot negotiate a
1 6 union security clause in their collective bargaining
1 7 agreement, that a union must represent all employees
1 8 in a bargaining unit whether or not they are a member
1 9 of the union, and that a failure to do so constitutes
1 10 a breach of the union's duty of fair representation
1 11 and subjects the union to suits for breach of duty and
1 12 substantial potential liability for damages. Thus, in
1 13 a right-to-work state, nonmembers are required by law
1 14 to get all the benefits of union representation, but
1 15 pay none of the costs.
1 16 The statement shall include that the right-to-work
1 17 law was never meant to ensure a person could keep a
1 18 job; rather, it was designed to weaken and destroy
1 19 unions and the principle of collective bargaining.
1 20 The statement shall include that the right-to-work law
1 21 represents a state-sanctioned policy of union
1 22 suppression.
1 23 The statement shall include that the right-to-work
1 24 law allows government interference in the ability of
1 25 management and labor to negotiate contracts. The
1 26 statement shall include that the right-to-work law is
1 27 not about a person's right to have a job; rather, it
1 28 is a collective bargaining issue. The statement shall
1 29 include that the right-to-work law takes away the
1 30 ability of unions and management to bargain over
1 31 whether workers should have the right to pay for the
1 32 services they receive from the union. The statement
1 33 shall include that the right-to-work law allows
1 34 employees at union shops to opt out of the union, and
1 35 thus receive the wages and benefits negotiated by
1 36 their coworkers without paying the dues."
