Summary of differences between federal and state regulations
Oklahoma has labor relations laws regarding union activity in private sector employment; however, these laws provide protections similar to those of the National Labor Relations Act and Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act.
Right to work
Oklahoma has a right to work law. Union security clauses, which require all employees in a union shop to pay a fee to the union, are banned from collective bargaining agreements entered into after September 25, 2001. Collective bargaining agreements in effect on September 25, 2001, remain in effect until the current contract expires and all employees must continue to pay dues or the equivalent fee."
Employees who don’t want their union dues used for political purposes with which they disagree may enact their "Beck Rights" and request a refund of those fees that do not fund the core functions of the union: collective bargaining, contract administration and grievance resolution.
Public employees
Oklahoma has labor relations laws for certain public sector employees, including school employees and fire and police workers.
