| OH | Signed into law 07/2009 | P-12 | Defines "independent child care provider" as either a licensed provider who does not meet the definition of "employee" under the National Labor Relations Act, or a certified or licensed provider or in-home aide who is not a county or state employee. Authorizes independent child care providers to:
(1) Form, join, assist or participate in any representative organization of their choosing
(2) Engage in additional concerted activities for purposes of collective bargaining or other mutual aid and protection
(3) Be represented by a representative organization
(4) Bargain collectively with the state to determine wages, hours, terms, other conditions of employment within the state's control, the amendment of existing collective bargaining provisions, and enter into a collective bargaining agreement
(5) Present grievances and have them adjusted without the intervention of the representative organization, within the parameters of the terms of the collective bargaining agreement.
Provides that a representative organization shall become the exclusive collective bargaining representative of all independent child care providers by either filing a request with the state to be recognized as an exclusive representative, or by being certified by an impartial election monitor as described in the governor's executive order 2008-02S for independent child care providers. Specifies the supporting evidence that must be included in a representative organization's request for recognition as the exclusive collective bargaining representative for independent child care providers in the state. Bars the state from recognizing another representative organization as the exclusive representative if a lawful written agreement, contract or memorandum of understanding between the state and another representative organization has been recognized by the state. Requires all matters pertaining to wages, hours, terms and other conditions of employment within the state's control and the continuation or amendment of any existing collective bargaining agreement to be subject to collective bargaining between the state and the exclusive representative. Provides that all of the aforementioned provisions must remain in effect until the end of the current governor's term in office as governor.
