EMPLOYEE PREFERENCES AND PUBLIC SECTOR UNION SECURITY

WILLAM H. FOELLER

Abstract

This article cites the continuing criticism of union shop or agency shop arrangements in public sector collective bargaining contracts that require individuals who may be opposed to union activity to become members of or provide financial support to the union. The nature of individual preferences under union security arrangements is presented by reviewing the collective goods basis of the issue. The author examines the employee protection provided by previously used authorization polls under the Taft-Hartley law and calls for implementation of a modified polling procedure on union security to enhance expression of employee preferences on this issue.
