"An act to prohibit strikes by certain public employees; to provide

review from disciplinary action with respect thereto; to provide

for the mediation of grievances and the holding of elections; to

declare and protect the rights and privileges of public employees;

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

TITLE

 

     An act to prohibit strikes by certain public employees; to

 

provide review from disciplinary action with respect thereto; to

 

provide for the mediation of grievances and the holding of

 

elections; to declare and protect the rights and privileges of

 

public employees; to require or prohibit certain provisions in

 

collective bargaining agreements; to prohibit certain subjects of


bargaining; to prescribe means of enforcement and penalties for the

 

violation of the provisions of this act; and to make

 

appropriations.

 

     Sec. 15c. In a city with a population of 500,000 or more and a

 

bargaining unit of at least 1,000 public police department

 

employees, the subject of automatic entitlement to more favorable

 

terms and conditions of employment that are subsequently granted or

 

otherwise applied to that bargaining unit may not be negotiated

 

with any other bargaining unit of the public employer. If a public

 

employer and bargaining unit other than a bargaining unit of at

 

least 1,000 public police department employees include a provision

 

that purports to grant such an automatic entitlement in a

 

collective bargaining agreement entered into after the effective

 

date of this section, the provision is void. As used in this

 

section, "public police department employee" means an employee of

 

the city police department who is engaged as a police officer but

 

does not include an individual employed by a private company who

 

works under a contract with a governmental unit or an individual

 

whose duties are solely of an administrative or supporting nature.

 

     Enacting section 1. This amendatory act takes effect 90 days

 

after the date it is enacted into law.
