An Act relative to collective bargaining dues

This bill amends Massachusetts law (Chapter 150E) to allow employers to refuse payroll deductions for union dues, even if employees have authorized the deduction. It directly affects public sector employees represented by a union in Massachusetts, as it removes the requirement for employers to process these dues through payroll. The key provision inserts a new subsection (7) into existing law, explicitly permitting employers to decline this service. The change alters the existing process for union dues collection but does not affect the right to join a union or the authorization of dues payments.
