2018 House Bill 6198

Let unions refuse to represent some employees’ grievances

Introduced in the House

June 12, 2018

Introduced by Rep. Thomas Albert (R-86)

To establish that while Michigan law requires a government employee union to represent all employees in a workplace it has organized under an “exclusive bargaining agent” arrangement, a union would not have a duty to represent a public employee who has a grievance against the employer unless the employee has chosen to pay fees to the union (which Michigan’s right-to-work law and the U.S. Supreme Court’s Janus-case ruling make optional).

Referred to the Committee on Local Government
