2011 House Bill 4309 ↩

Senate Roll Call 629: Passed

To establish that government employees transferred when local governments consolidate services would not automatically retain the same union contract and/or terms and conditions of employment, except for at least 180 days after being transferred. The transferred employees could engage in collective bargaining over these matters before the transfer. Also, to combine all the employees being transferred into a single seniority list for purposes of making assignments, lay-offs, etc., unless some other arrangment is mutually agreed. Employees would no longer automatically be granted the same benefits, work rules, seniority, etc.
