|
|
| 1 | | AN ACT concerning education.
|
| 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 1 as follows:
|
| 6 | | (115 ILCS 5/1) (from Ch. 48, par. 1701)

| 14 | | resolution.
It is the purpose of this Act to regulate labor |
| 15 | | relations between
educational employers and educational |
| 16 | | employees, including the designation
of educational employee |
| 17 | | representatives, negotiation of wages, hours and
other |
| 18 | | conditions of employment and resolution of disputes arising |
| 19 | | under
collective bargaining agreements. The General Assembly |
| 20 | | recognizes that

| 21 | | educational employees and other
public employees as a result of |
| 22 | | the uniqueness of the educational work
calendar and educational |
| 23 | | work duties and the traditional and historical
