AI Summary
This bill amends the Public Employment Relations Act (PERA) of 1947 to remove the exclusion of certain graduate assistants from the definition of "public employee" for the purposes of collective bargaining. Specifically, it clarifies that graduate student research assistants or those in equivalent positions are considered public employees under PERA and are entitled to the rights and protections afforded to other public employees, such as the ability to engage in collective bargaining. This change aims to provide graduate assistants with the same collective bargaining rights as other public sector workers.
