Bill Summary

Relative to allowing legislative employees to unionize. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.

AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 150E of the General Laws to allow legislative employees to unionize. Specifically, it adds "legislative" to the definition of "public employee" who can engage in collective bargaining, and it includes the general court (legislature) acting through the Speaker of the House or President of the Senate as an "employer" for the purposes of collective bargaining. This allows legislative staff, such as aides and administrative personnel, to form unions and negotiate with the legislative leadership on issues like wages, benefits, and working conditions.
