Section 20.9, unnumbered paragraph 1, Code 1 2 2003, 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, and in-service trainingand other matters1 12mutually 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 20.22, subsection 4, Code 2003, is amended 1 24 by adding the following new paragraph: 1 25 NEW PARAGRAPH. e. Each arbitrator appointed shall be a 1 26 resident of Iowa and shall have some private sector employment 1 27 experience. 1 28 Sec. 3.

Comparison of the total compensation, including wages, 1 31 hours, benefits, and conditions of employment of the involved 1 32 public employees with those of other private sector and public 1 33 employees doing comparable work, giving consideration to 1 34 factors peculiar to the area and the classifications involved. 1 35 Sec. 4. Section 20.22, subsection 9, paragraph d, Code 2 1 2003, is amended by striking the paragraph. 2 2 EXPLANATION 2 3 This bill makes changes to the provisions governing public 2 4 employee collective bargaining. 2 5 The bill limits the scope of negotiations concerning public 2 6 employee collective bargaining to those items specifically 2 7 listed in Code section 20.9 and eliminates the ability to 2 8 negotiate on other items as mutually agreed upon by the public 2 9 employer and the employee organization. 2 10 The bill provides that all individuals appointed to 2 11 arbitrate public employee collective bargaining disputes under 2 12 Code section 20.22 be Iowa residents and have some previous 2 13 private sector employment experience. 2 14 The bill provides that an arbitrator shall compare the 2 15 total compensation, including benefits, of the employees 2 16 subject to the arbitration to those of both private sector and 2 17 public employees. The bill also eliminates, as an arbitrator 2 18 consideration, the power of the public employer to levy taxes 2 19 and appropriate funds for the conduct of its operations. 2 20 LSB 2863XC 80 2 21 ec/cf/24
