Missoula County opposes HB 251: Implement right-to-work, up for hearing in the House Business and Labor Committee. Missoula County as well as all other employers were required to come into compliance with the ruling of the Supreme Court in Janus v. AFSCME, which required employers and labor unions to not require the collection of representation fees from employees who did not want to be part of a union. HB 251 goes further and would allow employees to opt in and out of the collective bargaining relationship, which has the potential to create chaos in the workplace by creating separate work rules for members and non-members of bargaining units. In essence, two employees working for the same employer, standing side by side, could be subject to different work rules depending on whether they were part of the bargaining unit or not. HB 251 also allows employees to opt in and out of a bargaining unit with a 30-day’s-notice, which has the real potential to complicate employee and employer relationships, since every 30 days the nature of the relationship could change, where one month an employee does not have the protections of a collective bargaining agreement, and then the next they do. HB 251 takes a simple and already implemented court decision and would create an ever-shifting landscape of employers guessing who was in and out of a bargaining unit monthly.
Missoula County opposes HB 251: Implement right-to-work, up for second reading on the House floor today.
