Rhode Island H7906 mandates charter schools to include a union neutrality clause in their charters.

Rhode Island H7906 requires all certified independent or district charter schools to include a union neutrality clause in their charters upon application for renewal or a new charter. This clause mandates the charter school to remain neutral regarding the unionization of its employees, prohibiting any adverse actions based on union support or opposition. The charter school must also allow bona fide labor organizations access to employees to discuss union rights and terms of employment, with union recognition achieved through a majority card check verified by a neutral third-party arbitrator.
