Bill > SB102

This bill ratifies a collective bargaining agreement for the 2024-25 fiscal year between the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Wisconsin State Building Trades Negotiating Committee, which covers employees in the building trades crafts collective bargaining unit. The bill authorizes the necessary expenditure of funds from the state's program supplement appropriations to implement the agreement, which has been approved by the employees in the unit and recommended by the joint committee on employment relations. Specifically, the University of Wisconsin-Madison is required to file an official, certified copy of the agreement with the secretary of state, and the legislature clarifies that only the official copy is approved, with no additional formal or informal agreements being considered part of the ratification. The bill will take effect the day after publication, with some provisions potentially having different effective dates as specified in the agreement itself. This type of bill is common in public sector labor relations, where the state legislature must formally approve collective bargaining agreements for certain groups of employees.
