Requires state and local public employee unions to represent all employees in bargaining unit regardless of union membership.

Prohibits public employer and union discrimination and threats against non-union employees. Prohibits payment of public employee union fees and political action contributions through payroll deductions. Provides administrative and judicial remedies for violations of law. Initiative supersedes existing laws and its provisions are severable. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local governments: This measure will not result in any direct impact on state and local governments since the provisions of the measure would affect the relationships between public sector exclusive representatives and their represented employees.
