(section 20.8) by essentially notwithstanding current law to require payment of the fair share fees for non-union employees of a group covered by a bargaining unit.

Section 1.
New Subsection 20.3 5A:
Defines fair share fee as the amount charged to an employee (covered by a bargaining unit) who is not a member of a union to cover the costs incurred (by the union) for all of the following:
 collective bargaining
 contract administration
 adjustment of grievances
 pursuit of other matters affecting: o wages o hours o other conditions of employment
*Essentially, the “fair share” fee garnishes public employees wages – this is forcing all public employees to pay up to the amount of full union dues.
Section 2.
Amends Section 20.8, subsection 4:
Amends the right-to-work protections against forced payment of union dues and fees for public employees (section 20.8) by essentially notwithstanding current law to require payment of the fair share fees for non-union employees of a group covered by a bargaining unit.
Section 3 . Amends Section 20.9 (Scope of Negotiations), unnumbered paragraph 1:
Section 4.
Requires that negotiations include whether a fair share fee shall be charged to nonmembers of the union.
New Section 20.9A Fair Share Fee Procedures:
Requires that when a collective bargaining agreement between a public employer and a union includes a fair share fee, within ten days of the agreement, the employer shall provide the union a list of the names and addresses of all employees covered by the bargaining unit. If the

collective bargaining agreement is longer than one year, the employer must furnish the names and addresses to the union on an annual basis.
After the union receives the list of all employees covered, the union will send the employer a list of all employees who are not members of the union and how much the union is charging for the “fair share” fee. The union also must send to the Labor Commissioner the “fair share” fee amount and any supporting documentation that was used to determine the fair share fee.
Beginning on the effective date of the collective bargaining agreement, the employer will garnish, once each month, the monthly amount of the “fair share” fee from the non-union employees wages.
The amount of the “fair share” fee can be up to (but not exceed) regular union dues. The “fair share” fee shall not include any share of the costs incurred by the union for fraternal, ideological, political or other activities not germane to:
 collective bargaining
 contract administration
 adjustment of grievances
 or the pursuit of other matters affecting: o wages o hours o other conditions of employment
Costs that shall be excluded from the “fair share” fee include (but are not limited to):
 costs for social events
 lobbying on issues for purposes other than the negotiation, ratification or implementation of a collective bargaining agreement
 voter registration training
 efforts to increase voting
 political campaign techniques
 supporting or contributing to charitable organizations
 supporting or contributing to religious or other ideological causes.
*NOT included in the exclusions from the “fair share” garnishment:

Voter education

Paying the salaries of union officials, travel expenses of union officials.
Additionally, there are no requirements for accountability forcing union officials to actually prove that are following the exclusions on uses of fair share money.
As a precondition of collection a “fair share” fee, the union shall maintain a full and fair procedure that conforms with the U.S. Constitution and the Iowa Constitutions and the following:
 Provide non-union employees with an annual notice of the amount of the “fair share” fee along with information to gauge the propriety of the fee amount and the procedure that the non-union employee can challenge the fee amount.
 Permit challenges by non-union employees on the fee amount
 Provide consolidation of all “timely” challenges and for an impartial hearing before an arbitrator paid for by the union.

Provide that the burden of proof rests on the union for the fee amount

Provide that fees being disputed by a non-union member are held in an escrow account until a final decision is made by the arbitrator and then disbursed in accordance with the arbitrator’s decision.
The union must notify the employer of the arbitrator’s award and the employer must adjust the wage deduction of the nonunion employees who challenged the “fair share” fee amount
