Proposed constitutional amendment would bar school districts from supporting unions or negotiating union contracts

School districts could not use public money or public resources to support a labor organization. This covers dues deductions from paychecks, use of internal communication systems for recruiting or political materials, district payroll or accounting systems to collect dues, captive audience recruiting meetings during working hours, and paid leave for union business. School district employees also could not use public resources to distribute communications on a labor organization's behalf. The ban would override any contract, memorandum of understanding, meet and confer agreement, or policy. Public money means money a district receives that comes at least in part from tax revenue. Public resources include facilities, vehicles, postage, computers, websites, staff, and equipment. The measure would apply from and after December 31, 2027, if voters approve it.

School district employees would have a right to negotiate their own pay, benefits, and working conditions, and the state and local governments could not negotiate union agreements on job terms. As written, the limit covers the state and any political subdivision, and covers exclusive representation agreements, collective bargaining agreements, memorandums of understanding, and other contracts on terms and conditions of employment. A labor organization means any employee representation organization that deals with employers about grievances, labor disputes, wages, hours, or other conditions of employment. The measure would apply from and after December 31, 2027, if voters approve it.
