|
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
|
| 4 | | Section 5. The Illinois Educational Labor Relations Act is |
| 5 | | amended by changing Section 4.5 as follows:
|
| 6 | | (115 ILCS 5/4.5)
|
| 7 | | Sec. 4.5. Subjects of collective bargaining.
|
| 8 | | (a) Notwithstanding the the existence of any other |
| 9 | | provision in this Act or
other law, collective bargaining |
| 10 | | between an educational employer whose
territorial boundaries |
| 11 | | are coterminous with those of a city having a population
in
|
| 12 | | excess of 500,000 and an exclusive representative of its |
| 13 | | employees may
include any of the following
subjects:
|
| 14 | | (1) (Blank).
|
| 15 | | (2) Decisions to contract with a third party for one or |
| 16 | | more services
otherwise performed by employees in a |
| 17 | | bargaining unit and the
procedures for
obtaining such |
| 18 | | contract or the identity of the third party.
|
| 19 | | (3) Decisions to layoff or reduce in force employees.
|
| 20 | | (4) Decisions to determine class size, class staffing |
| 21 | | and assignment,
class
schedules, academic calendar, hours |
| 22 | | and places of instruction, or pupil
assessment policies.
|
| 23 | | (5) Decisions concerning use and staffing of |
|
| | HB1851 | - 2 - | LRB097 08974 NHT 49107 b |
|
|
| 1 | | experimental or pilot
programs and
decisions concerning |
| 2 | | use of technology to deliver educational programs and
|
| 3 | | services and staffing to provide the technology.
|
| 4 | | (b) The subject or matters described in subsection (a) are |
| 5 | | permissive
subjects of bargaining between an educational |
| 6 | | employer and an exclusive
representative of its employees and, |
| 7 | | for the purpose of this Act, are within
the sole
discretion of |
| 8 | | the educational employer to decide
to bargain, provided that |
| 9 | | the educational employer is required to bargain
over the impact |
| 10 | | of a decision concerning such subject or matter on the
|
| 11 | | bargaining unit upon request by the exclusive representative. |
| 12 | | During
this bargaining, the educational employer shall not be |
| 13 | | precluded from
implementing its decision. If, after a |
| 14 | | reasonable period of bargaining, a
dispute or impasse exists |
| 15 | | between the educational employer and the
exclusive |
| 16 | | representative, the dispute or impasse shall be resolved |
| 17 | | exclusively
as set
forth in subsection (b) of Section 12 of |
| 18 | | this Act in lieu of a strike under
Section 13 of this Act.
|
| 19 | | (c) A provision in a collective bargaining agreement that |
| 20 | | was rendered
null
and void
because it involved a
prohibited |
| 21 | | subject of collective bargaining
under this subsection (c) as |
| 22 | | this subsection (c) existed before the effective
date of
this |
| 23 | | amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly
remains null and |
| 24 | | void and
shall not otherwise be reinstated in any successor |
| 25 | | agreement unless the
educational employer and exclusive |
| 26 | | representative otherwise agree to
include an agreement reached |
