Alaska · Labor and Workers' Compensation · §§ 23.40.010 to 23.40.260 · 32 sections

Overview

The Public Employment Relations Act governs collective bargaining between public employers — state agencies, political subdivisions, school districts, and public higher education institutions — and their employees. It grants public employees the right to organize and bargain collectively, provides for bargaining units and the election of employee representatives, defines unfair labor practices, and reserves certain subjects from negotiation. The act also establishes procedures for resolving disputes, including investigation of complaints, mediation, arbitration, and enforceable orders, and addresses related matters such as dues deduction, religious-conviction exemptions, and legislative appropriation of the monetary terms of negotiated agreements.
