Problem: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Public Safety Employer-Employee
Cooperation Act of 2003''.

SEC. 2. DECLARATION OF PURPOSE AND POLICY.

The Congress declares that the following is the policy of the
United States:
(1) Labor-management relationships and partnerships are
based on trust, mutual respect, open communication, bilateral
consensual problem solving, and shared accountability. Labor-
management cooperation fully utilizes the strengths of both
parties to best serve the interests of the public, operating as
a team, to carry out the public safety mission in a quality
work environment. In many public safety agencies it is the
union that provides the institutional stability as elected
leaders and appointees come and go.
(2) The Federal Government needs to encourage conciliation,
mediation, and voluntary arbitration to aid and encourage
employers and their employees to reach and maintain agreements
concerning rates of pay, hours, and working conditions, and to
make all reasonable efforts through negotiations to settle
their differences by mutual agreement reached through
collective bargaining or by such methods as may be provided for
in any applicable agreement for the settlement of disputes.
(3) The absence of adequate cooperation between public
safety employers and employees has implications for the
security of employees and can affect interstate and intrastate
commerce. The lack of such labor-management cooperation can
detrimentally impact the upgrading of police and fire services
of local communities, the health and well-being of public
safety officers, and the morale of the fire and police
departments. Additionally, these factors could have significant
commercial repercussions. Moreover, providing minimal standards
for collective bargaining negotiations in the public safety
sector can prevent industrial strife between labor and
management that interferes with the normal flow of commerce.

than the rights provided under this Act;

that prohibits employers and labor organizations from
negotiating provisions in a labor agreement that require union
membership or payment of union fees as a condition of
employment;
(3) to invalidate any State law in effect on the date of
enactment of this Act that substantially provides for the
rights and responsibilities described in section 4(b) solely
because such State law permits an employee to appear on his or
her own behalf with respect to his or her employment relations
with the public safety agency involved; or
(4) to permit parties subject to the National Labor
Relations Act (29 U.S.C. 151 et seq.) and the regulations under
such Act to negotiate provisions that would prohibit an
employee from engaging in part-time employment or volunteer
activities during off-duty hours; or

this Act a political subdivision of the State that has a
population of less than 5,000 or that employs less than 25 full
time employees.

every individual employed by the political subdivision except any
individual elected by popular vote or appointed to serve on a board or
commission.

of its political subdivisions if such laws provide collective
bargaining rights for public safety officers that are equal to or
greater than the rights provided under this Act.

(Sec. 4) Directs the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA) to determine whether State law provides specified rights and responsibilities for public safety officers, including: (1) granting public safety employees the right to form and join a labor organization which excludes management and supervisory employees, and which is, or seeks to be, recognized as the exclusive bargaining agent for such employees; and (2) requiring public safety employers to recognize and agree to bargain with the employees' labor organization. (Sec. 5) Requires the FLRA to issue regulations establishing collective bargaining procedures for public safety employers and employees in States that do not substantially provide for such public safety employee rights and responsibilities.

Grants a public safety employer, employee, or labor organization the right to seek enforcement of such FLRA regulations and authority through appropriate State courts.

Prohibits any State from preempting local government laws or ordinances that provide collective bargaining rights for public safety officers that are equal to or greater than the rights provided under this Act.
