SB 119 - This act provides that no labor organization which engages in certain political activity on behalf of, or for a candidate for public office may be eligible to be certified or act as the exclusive representative for employees who work directly or indirectly under the public official for whom the labor organizations political activity was directed. Once a labor union is certified as the employees exclusive representative, it shall be required to affirmatively state under oath that it has not been involved in any political campaign for any such public official within the previous two years, and will not during the time it is authorized to act as the employees exclusive representative. If evidence is presented to the board of mediation that the labor organization has violated this prohibition, the board may suspend or revoke the certification of the labor organization to serve as the exclusive representative of the employees.

This act prohibits employees of certain elected officials from soliciting financial contributions or political support or endorsements from labor organizations which the official or anyone in that official's department or in a position subordinate to that official has had responsibility for meeting and conferring pursuant to Section 105.520, or with which said discussions have been held within two years prior to the solicitation, contribution, or endorsement. Any such official shall recuse himself from discussions on behalf of the public body in relation to the activities of the labor organization for a period of two years after the political activity occurred. Further, no employee on behalf of the state may engage in discussions, deliberations, or negotiations with any labor organization if the employee is involved in political activities where the appearance exists that the officer or agent would be granting favors to the labor organization in return for political favors in connection with the meet and confer process.
