LD 786 - So-called “Right to Work” - Public Sector

(2013)

An Act To Ensure the Voluntary Membership of Public Employees in Unions

Sponsored by Sponsored by: Rep. Lawrence Lockman (R – Amherst)

What is the bill?

This bill is a version of so-called “Right to work” targeting public sector workers. It would have made it illegal for workers and their employer to agree that all workers share the costs of collective bargaining and representation. This is a clear attempt to weaken public sector unions and undermine collective bargaining rights. It was quickly defeated in the House and the Senate.
