Employee information is essential to your ability to effectively represent the bargaining unit members of your local, but unfortunately, many locals have no information, partial information or disorganized information. Having this information at your fingertips also means that communications about union meetings, events and opportunities will be easy to provide and that outreach to bargaining unit members who haven’t yet joined the union can occur on a regular basis.
House Bill 1200, passed in 2023, requires public employers to provide contact information for new hires within 21 days of date of hire and a complete bargaining unit list every 120 days. We will have more information on this bill and its impacts as the bill is fully implemented.
