HB965

Ohio HB965 bans public employers from requiring employees to join or pay dues to employee organizations.

Ohio HB965 amends the state's Revised Code to prohibit public employers from making membership in or payment of dues to an employee organization a condition of employment. The bill also allows employees to opt out of paying dues by contributing to a charitable organization instead. It defines an "employee organization" and outlines unfair labor practices for both public employers and employee organizations. The bill includes provisions for fair share fees and rebates for nonmembers, and it specifies that certain actions, such as picketing or striking, require written notice.
