A bill to amend 1947 PA 336, entitled “An act to prohibit strikes by certain public employees; to provide review from disciplinary action with respect thereto; to provide for the mediation of grievances and the holding of elections; to declare and protect the rights and privileges of public employees; to require certain provisions in collective bargaining agreements; to prescribe means of enforcement and penalties for the violation of the provisions of this act; and to make appropriations,” by amending sections 12 and 14 (MCL 423.212 and 423.214), section 14 as amended by 2012 PA 349.
The bill details the process for public employees to select collective bargaining representatives, including petition filing, investigations, and the organization of hearings or elections for certification. It specifies conditions under which elections should not occur, such as within units where a valid collective bargaining agreement exists, unless more than three years have passed since its execution or renewal.
