SENATE BILL 1259
Bargaining, secret ballots
LABOR – Amends existing law to provide for secret ballot elections for an employer to recognize, certify, or collectively bargain with a representative of employees.
RS31086 / S1259
The Secret Ballot Protection Act proposes amending Section 72-1382 to safeguard employee rights and privacy during union formation elections. It guarantees the right to vote via secret ballot elections, either administered by the director or through a similar process conducted by the employer. However, this legislation excludes employees under the exclusive jurisdiction of federal officials or boards.
The proposed measure will have no fiscal impact on the General Fund, as it neither allocates funds nor leads to a reduction in expenditures.
