2014 Senate Bill 884

Allow union certification without secret ballot ("card check")

Introduced in the Senate

March 20, 2014

Introduced by Sen. Jim Ananich (D-27)

To allow unions to gain certification to represent a group of employees through a “card check” method in which union representatives get at least half the workers to sign a card saying they want the union, with no opportunity to vote in a secret ballot. The bill would also authorize binding arbitration if no contract is reached after 90 days of collective bargaining, with government-appointed mediators empowered to impose a settlement.

Referred to the Committee on Reforms, Restructuring, and Reinventing
