Assembly Bill 1052 seeks to amend current labor law in Wisconsin by establishing a new statute, 111.045, which clarifies the entitlement of nonunion employees to benefits provided by labor organizations. Under the proposed law, employees who do not pay dues or fees to a union will not be eligible for any benefits that are not collectively bargained by the labor organization. This change aims to ensure that only those who contribute to the union through dues or fees can access the benefits that the union provides.

The bill specifically states that nonunion employees, who are not paying members of a union, will not receive any non-negotiated benefits from the labor organization. This legislative change is intended to reinforce the principle that benefits derived from union negotiations are reserved for those who actively participate in the union's financial obligations.
