Bill Summary

A bill to amend 1947 PA 336, entitled"An act to prohibit strikes by certain public employees; to provide review from disciplinary action with respect thereto; to provide for the mediation of grievances and the holding of elections; to declare and protect the rights and privileges of public employees; to require certain provisions in collective bargaining agreements; to prescribe means of enforcement and penalties for the violation of the provisions of this act; and to make appropriations,"by amending sections 11 and 15 (MCL 423.211 and 423.215), section 15 as amended by 2023 PA 143.

AI Summary

This bill amends the 1947 Public Employment Relations Act (PERA) to make minimum staffing levels within a bargaining unit a mandatory subject of collective bargaining. Under the bill, for public employees subject to the 1969 Act 312 (which covers certain public safety employees), minimum staffing levels are considered an "other condition of employment" that must be collectively bargained. However, if the public employer experiences a reduction in revenue or property tax collections, the employer may, but is not required to, collectively bargain over minimum staffing levels with these employees. The bill does not prohibit other public employees from collectively bargaining over minimum staffing levels.
