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." 1 37 1 38 1 39 1 40 CONNORS of Polk 1 41 HF 103.501 79 1 42 tm/pj
