9233.04 (2s) of the statutes; relating to: collective bargaining for employees of
10the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics Authority.

This bill allows employees of the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics
Authority to collectively bargain over wages, hours, and conditions of employment.
Under current law, employers and employees are prohibited from collective
bargaining except as expressly provided in the statutes.

Prior to changes made by 2011 Wisconsin Act 10, employees of the UWHCA had
the right to collectively bargain over wages, hours, and conditions of employment,

and UWHCA was required to bargain over those subjects. The bill restores those
rights and also authorizes UWHCA employees to enter into maintenance of
membership agreements.

Current right-to-work law prohibits a person from requiring, as a condition of
obtaining or continuing employment, an individual to refrain or resign from
membership in a labor organization, to become or remain a member of a labor
organization, to pay dues or other charges to a labor organization, or to pay any other
person an amount that is in place of dues or charges required of members of a labor
organization. The bill removes these prohibitions with respect to employees of the
UWHCA.
