The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 221, aims to amend chapters 68 and 113 of the general statutes to ensure that collective bargaining agreements and related employee notices include a clear and conspicuous statement regarding an employee's right to not participate in a union. This addition is intended to enhance transparency and inform public employees of their rights concerning union membership.
The bill emphasizes the importance of providing clear disclosures about the option to opt out of union membership, thereby empowering employees to make informed decisions regarding their participation in employee organizations. The proposed legal language does not indicate any deletions from current law but focuses solely on the insertion of the new requirement for clear communication of this right.
