(115 ILCS 5/3) (from Ch. 48, par. 1703)
Sec. 3.
Employee rights.
(a) It shall be lawful for educational employees
to organize, form, join, or assist in employee organizations or engage in
lawful concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or
other mutual aid and protection or bargain collectively through representatives
of their own free choice and, except as provided in Section 11, such employees
shall also have the right to refrain from any or all such activities.
(b) Representatives selected by educational employees in a unit appropriate
for collective bargaining purposes shall be the exclusive representative
of all the employees in such unit to
bargain on wages, hours, terms and conditions of employment. However,
any individual employee or a group of employees may at any time present
grievances to their employer and have them adjusted without the intervention
of the bargaining representative as long as the adjustment is not inconsistent
with the terms of a collective bargaining agreement then in effect, provided
that the bargaining representative has been given an opportunity to be present
at such adjustment.
