MT SB94

Public employers prohibited from contributing public funds to labor organizations or providing paid leave/compensation to employees for labor organization activities

Public employees may take unpaid time off for union activities, use personal leave for union activities, or engage in labor organization activities while on duty if the union reimburses the employer for pro rata wages and benefits within 30 days of invoicing

Removes "attending state meetings of teacher organizations" from the list of allowable paid pupil-instruction-related days for teachers

Eliminates mandatory school closures for annual teacher organization meetings; teachers may still attend instructional/professional development meetings without loss of pay

Adds detailed definition of "labor organization activities" covering political advocacy, membership solicitation, grievance handling, collective bargaining, and union governance—with exceptions for job-related training, charitable events, and informal employer discussions
