6 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
If a teacher strike violates a court order, a court can fine the union up to $50,000 per day. A responsible union officer can be fined up to $1,000 per day. The court can apply both fines, and they add up each day the violation continues. This section fines unions and responsible officers, not individual teachers.
If a non‑teacher public‑employee strike violates a court order, a court can fine the union up to $50,000 per day and a responsible officer up to $1,000 per day. The court may also order jail under state law. Employers may fire, suspend, demote, cancel contracts, or withhold pay from employees who take part. These penalties can be used together.
After at least four bargaining sessions, either side may declare impasse and, after 5 days’ written notice, send issues to arbitration. The arbitrator holds a hearing within 30 days with 7 days’ notice and makes a full record; costs are split 50/50. The arbitrator must consider the district’s ability to pay using all available revenues, including State funds. The arbitrator may pause up to 3 weeks for talks; if no deal within 30 days after the hearing, each side submits one final offer. The arbitrator picks one final offer and issues a decision within 10 days. The ruling is final, binding, retroactive, includes reasons and a cost estimate, and the board must meet within 45 days to review fiscal impact.
School districts and teacher unions can choose binding arbitration as a contract ends. If no successor deal exists 75 days before the first school day, they may submit issues from 75 to 30 days before school starts. If a contract already expired, they may submit any time after expiration. The sides must build a shared list of up to five arbitrators at least 180 days ahead, or they cannot use this path. They pick an arbitrator by alternating strikes, then a hearing date is set within 5 days. The award is final, binding, retroactive to the last contract’s end, and each side pays half the costs. The arbitrator must consider the district’s ability to pay using all available revenues, and the board must hold a public meeting within 30 days on the fiscal impact.
If a teacher contract expires but its terms still apply, the district cannot ask, require, or urge extra hours beyond the expired deal. You cannot be punished for refusing, and that refusal is not a strike. Also, a stoppage, slowdown, absence, or interruption at one or more schools is not a “strike” unless it is district‑wide.
Teacher unions do not need a written no‑strike pledge to be recognized by a local employer. They also do not lose recognition only for refusing that pledge. The law defines a “teacher” as a school‑district employee licensed to teach and represented by a union.
