 2        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:

 4        Section 5.  The Illinois Public Labor  Relations  Act  is
 5    amended by changing Section 20 as follows:

 6        (5 ILCS 315/20) (from Ch. 48, par. 1620)
 7        Sec. 20.  Prohibitions.
 8        (a)  Nothing in this Act shall be construed to require an
 9    individual  employee  to  render labor or service without his
10    consent, nor shall anything in this Act be construed to  make
11    the  quitting  of  his  labor  by  an  individual employee an
12    illegal act; nor shall any court issue any process to  compel
13    the  performance  by  an individual employee of such labor or
14    service, without his consent; nor shall the quitting of labor
15    by  an  employee  or  employees  in  good  faith  because  of
16    abnormally dangerous conditions for  work  at  the  place  of
17    employment  of  such  employee  be deemed a strike under this
18    Act.
19        (b)  This Act shall not be applicable to units  of  local
20    government  employing  less than 35 employees at the time the
21    Petition for Certification or Representation  is  filed  with
22    the  Board.   This  prohibition  shall not apply, except with
23    respect to bargaining units in  existence  on  the  effective
24    date  of  this  Act, units of local government employing more
25    than 35 employees where the total number of  employees  falls
26    below 35 after the Board has certified a bargaining unit, and
27    fire  protection  districts  required  by the Fire Protection
28    District Act to appoint a Board of Fire Commissioners.
