Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Unions can use work email

Public employers must let the union use employees' work email for labor topics. Allowed topics include bargaining, contract administration, grievance investigations, workplace complaints, and union internal business. These emails must follow the employer's normal technology-use rules. This applies to bargaining-unit employees.

Unions get public worker contact lists

Public employers must give unions contact details for each new hire within 14 calendar days. The data include name, job, worksite (and building location when needed), employee ID, home address, home and cell numbers, hire date, and work and personal emails. Starting January 2026, employers must also send a full roster each January and October with the same fields for all bargaining-unit employees. The files must be sent in a secure format the union agrees to.

Union meetings in public buildings, with limits

Public employers must let the union meet with bargaining-unit members in government buildings for labor topics. Meetings must not interfere with government operations. Meetings in these buildings cannot support or oppose a partisan candidate or share partisan election material. The union may be charged for extra costs the meeting causes, like added maintenance or security.
