Bill Summary
CONCERNING MEASURES TO ICE RS IN THE "LABOR PEACE ACT" TO PROMOTE GOOD FAI OLLECTIVE BARGAINING NEGOTIATIONS, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, REDUCING AN APPROPRIATION.
AI Summary
This bill aims to strengthen collective bargaining rights and promote good faith negotiations between employers and employees by amending the "Labor Peace Act" in Colorado. Key provisions include clarifying that employees have the right to organize and bargain collectively for fair wages and benefits, and that negotiations should be conducted in good faith by all parties without undue state interference. The bill also explicitly states that employees have the right to bargain collectively on any mandatory subject of bargaining and that neither party is compelled to agree to a proposal or make a concession if they have bargained in good faith. Additionally, it clarifies that it is not an unfair labor practice for an employer to represent employees or for an exclusive representative to refuse a lawful proposal if good faith bargaining has occurred. Finally, the bill includes a provision to reduce an appropriation to the Department of Labor and Employment by $26,865 and 0.2 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions, contingent on the passage of the 2026-27 state fiscal year general appropriation act.
