    AN ACT relating to public labor relations.

    Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:

    Section  5.   The  Illinois Public Labor Relations Act is
amended by changing Section 20 as follows:

    (5 ILCS 315/20) (from Ch. 48, par. 1620)
    Sec. 20.  Prohibitions.
    (a)  Nothing in this Act shall be construed to require an
individual employee to render labor or  service  without  his
consent,  nor shall anything in this Act be construed to make
the quitting of  his  labor  by  an  individual  employee  an
illegal  act; nor shall any court issue any process to compel
the performance by an individual employee of  such  labor  or
service, without his consent; nor shall the quitting of labor
by  an  employee  or  employees  in  good  faith  because  of
abnormally  dangerous  conditions  for  work  at the place of
employment of such employee be deemed  a  strike  under  this
Act.
    (b)  This  Act  shall not be applicable to units of local
government employing less than 35 employees at the  time  the
Petition  for  Certification  or Representation is filed with
the Board.  This prohibition shall  not  apply,  except  with
respect  to  bargaining  units  in existence on the effective
date of this Act, units of local  government  employing  more
than  35  employees where the total number of employees falls
below 35 after the Board has certified a bargaining unit, and
fire protection districts required  by  the  Fire  Protection
District Act to appoint a Board of Fire Commissioners.
