What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan 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.
