Introduced
by
To place before voters in the next general election a constitutional amendment to declare collective bargaining as a right for “every person,” including government employees. Under current law (but not under the constitution), public schools and local governments are required to bargain with government employee unions to determine the pay and benefits of their employees. Under the proposed amendment, this law could not be repealed, and the state could impose rules that extend the mandate to all private sector employers as well.
Referred to the Committee on Government Operations
