P.R. Laws tit. 3, § 1451f
Once a bargaining unit has been certified for collective bargaining purposes by the Commission, there shall not be more than one labor organization to represent the employees included in the bargaining unit. If there is a collective agreement in effect, it may be extended as agreed on by the parties, provided it is for a definite and limited period of time. At no time shall this extension interrupt the terms of a petition for certification or decertification and petitions for classification promulgated in this chapter.
The deduction of fees for non-affiliated employees of bona fide organizations shall only be allowed to the exclusive representative and to the employees not included in the bargaining unit. The automatic deduction of fees and service fees is authorized through the exclusive representative or bona fide organization.
