| AN ACT concerning education.
|
| 2 |
| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
| 3 |
| represented in the General Assembly:
|
| 4 |
| Section 5. The Illinois Educational Labor Relations Act is |
| 5 |
| amended by changing Section 1 as follows:
|
| 6 |
| (115 ILCS 5/1) (from Ch. 48, par. 1701)
|
| 7 |
| Sec. 1. Policy. It is the
the public policy of this State |
| 8 |
| and the purpose
of this Act to promote orderly and constructive |
| 9 |
| relationships between all
educational employees and their |
| 10 |
| employers. Unresolved disputes between the
educational |
| 11 |
| employees and their employers are injurious to the public, and
|
| 12 |
| the General Assembly is therefore aware that adequate means |
| 13 |
| must be established
for minimizing them and providing for their |
| 14 |
| resolution.
It is the purpose of this Act to regulate labor |
| 15 |
| relations between
educational employers and educational |
| 16 |
| employees, including the designation
of educational employee |
| 17 |
| representatives, negotiation of wages, hours and
other |
| 18 |
| conditions of employment and resolution of disputes arising |
| 19 |
| under
collective bargaining agreements. The General Assembly |
| 20 |
| recognizes that
substantial differences exist between |
| 21 |
| educational employees and other
public employees as a result of |
| 22 |
| the uniqueness of the educational work
calendar and educational |
| 23 |
| work duties and the traditional and historical
patterns of |
| 24 |
| collective bargaining between educational employers and
|
| 25 |
| educational employees and that such differences demand |
| 26 |
| statutory regulation
of collective bargaining between |
| 27 |
| educational employers and educational
employees in a manner |
| 28 |
| that recognizes these differences. Recognizing that
harmonious |
| 29 |
| relationships are required between educational employees and
|
| 30 |
| their employers, the General Assembly has determined that the |
| 31 |
| overall policy
may best be accomplished by (a) granting to |
| 32 |
| educational employees the right
to organize and choose freely |
