Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2015
RE: S.B. No. 1011
S.D. 1
H.D. 1
Honorable Joseph M. Souki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Eighth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2015
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Labor & Public Employment, to which was referred S.B. No. 1011, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO COLLECTIVE BARGAINING,"
begs leave to report as follows:
(1) The prohibition on using arbitration to resolve disputes and impasses;
(2) Provisions that set forth the Legislature's role in resolving EUTF contribution disputes through an enactment of law; and
(3) The prohibition on the right to strike over such contributions.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Requiring the Hawaii Labor Relations Board, rather than the American Arbitration Association, upon the failure to timely select the neutral third member of an arbitration panel, to furnish the list of qualified arbitrators from which the neutral third member is to be selected and requiring State arbitrators to be included in that list;
(2) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2115, to encourage further discussion; and
(3) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Labor & Public Employment that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1011, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1011, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Labor & Public Employment,
