SB 151 PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT LABOR RELATIONS
CHAIRMAN GREEN brought SB 151 before the committee as the next
order of business. She stated CSSB 151(STA) was adopted at the
previous hearing on the legislation.
SENATOR DUNCAN moved Amendment No. 1 to CSSB 151(STA), which, he
said, removes the sections in the committee substitute and the
original bill that would require increasing the number of
bargaining units in the state. Increasing the number of bargaining
units will increase the cost to the state and causes other types of
problems.
Amendment No. 1
Page 3, line 16: Delete "new subsections" and insert "a new
subsection"
Page 3, line 24, through page 4, line 25: Delete all material
SENATOR WARD objected to the adoption of Amendment No. 1. The roll
wa taken with the following result: Senator Duncan voted "Yea" and
Senators Miller, Ward and Green voted "Nay." The Chairman stated
the motion failed on a 1-3 vote.
Number 144
SENATOR DUNCAN moved Amendment No. 2 to CSSB 151(STA), which, he
said, would remove the findings sections in the legislation. These
findings sections are taken from federal law and there is not
evidence of the types of abuses and problems that the findings
declare are there.

stated the motion failed.
Number 155
SENATOR DUNCAN moved Amendment No. 3 to CSSB 151(STA),which, he
said, would delete Section 37. However, after brief discussion it
was concluded that the amendment was improperly drafted, and
Senator Duncan then withdrew Amendment No. 3.
SENATOR DUNCAN moved a conceptual Amendment No. 3 to CSSB 151(STA)
to delete Section 37 and any references to Section 37 throughout
the committee substitute. He said Section 37 basically
incorporates the federal language and places a significant
additional administrative burden within the Department of Labor to
duplicate a federal bureaucracy which collects reports and audits
union activities in the private sector.
SENATOR WARD objected to the adoption of a conceptual Amendment No.
3. The roll was taken with the following result: Senator Duncan
voted "Yea" and Senators Ward, Miller and Green voted "Nay." The
Chairman stated the motion failed.

SENATOR DUNCAN moved Amendment No. 4 to CSSB 151(STA). He said
this is the area where the president of the AFL-CIO testified that
they would have to bring out the handcuffs because he would not
make copies of his membership list and make it public.

151(STA) which he said eliminates the requirement that the
Legislature give approval of arbitration awards and any extensions
or modifications of an agreement.

of an agreement, including an award by an arbitrator acting under
AS 23.40.200, if the extension or modification affects in any way
the monetary terms of an agreement."

Chairman stated the motion failed.
Number 267
CHAIRMAN GREEN related that new fiscal notes for CSSB 151(STA) had
been provided by the Department of Law and the Department of Labor,
and there being no further amendments or testimony, she requested
a motion on CSSB 151(STA).
SENATOR WARD moved CSSB 151(STA) and the accompanying fiscal notes
be passed out of committee with individual recommendations.
