Bill > HB1399

This bill amends the New Hampshire public employee labor relations law to establish a process for certifying an employee organization as the exclusive representative of a public employee bargaining unit based on written majority authorization cards signed by a majority of employees, rather than requiring an election. The bill defines "written majority authorization" and requires the Public Employee Labor Relations Board to promptly verify the majority status and certify the organization as the exclusive representative, absent exceptional cause. The bill also directs the Board to establish rules and procedures to protect the privacy of individual employee choice regarding the authorization cards.
