Bill Tracking--26th Alaska Legislature

HB 37 (RIGHT TO WORK)
Status: Pending

PAC Recommendation: Oppose
ASEA Position: Oppose

Description: HB 37 would disallow many of the trademarks of trade unionism and effectively destabilize organized labor in Alaska. The expression “Right To Work” and claims that unionism infringes on individuals distort workers' rights to improve the position of employers at the expense of unions. Important consequences of the bill include a banning of any requirement that employees share in the expense of representation--a central tenant of the union shop. The bill would criminalize current and long held union shop practices, threaten collective bargaining agreements and weaken labor organizations.
