This bill prohibits public school employers from using taxpayer money or resources to support labor unions or union-related activities, including political campaigns, lobbying, union organizing, or union administration. The bill defines what counts as prohibited union support and creates penalties for violations, though the specific penalties are not included in the excerpt provided.
The amendment removes a provision prohibiting public education employers from denying labor organizations equal access to employer facilities and resources, instead requiring employers to favor one labor organization or affiliate over another—significantly WEAKENING protections for union access and effectively REDIRECTING the bill to give employers greater power to discriminate between different labor organizations.
