2009 House Bill 4739

Revise ban on teachers union bargaining for privatization ban

Introduced in the House

March 31, 2009

Introduced by Rep. Tim Melton (D-29)

To revise a law that prohibits teachers unions from bargaining to get a school district to agree to not privatize noninstructional support services including bus, custodial, or food services, even if doing so would save the district money. The bill would establish that the union can bargain for unionized school employees to be given a chance to bid on any privatized service.

Referred to the Committee on Labor
