It shall be an unfair labor practice and
unlawful, for any employee organization or its agent to:
(1) Restrain or coerce (a) employees in the exercise of
their right to refrain from self-organization, or (b) an employer
in the selection of its representatives for purposes of
collective bargaining or the adjustment of grievances;
(2) Cause or attempt to cause an employer to discriminate
against an employee in violation of RCW 49.66.040(3) or to
discriminate against an employee with respect to whom membership
in such organization has been denied or terminated on some ground
other than his or her failure to tender the periodic dues and
initiation fees uniformly required as a condition of acquiring or
retaining membership;
(3) Refuse to meet and bargain in good faith with an
employer, provided it is the duly designated representative of
the employer's employees for purposes of collective bargaining;
(4) Require of employees covered by a union security
agreement the payment, as a condition precedent to becoming a
member of such organization, of a fee in an amount which the
director finds excessive or discriminatory under all the
circumstances. In making such a finding, the director shall
consider, among other relevant factors, the practices and customs
of labor organizations in the particular industry, and the wages
currently paid to the employees affected;
(5) Cause or attempt to cause an employer to pay or deliver
or agree to pay or deliver any money or other thing of value, in
the nature of an exaction, for services which are not performed
or not to be performed;
(6) Enter into any contract or agreement, express or
implied, whereby an employer or other person ceases or refrains,
or agrees to cease or refrain, from handling, using, selling,
transporting, or otherwise dealing in any of the products or
services of any other employer or person, or to cease doing
business with any other employer or person, and any such contract
or agreement shall be unenforceable and void; or
(7) Engage in, or induce or encourage any individual
employed by any employer or to engage in, an activity prohibited
by RCW 49.66.060.
