Bill > H5007

This bill addresses collective bargaining issues that have reached an impasse, meaning the state and employee unions could not agree on terms for the 2014-2015 fiscal year. For specific unions and articles within their contracts, such as those concerning employee conduct, insurance benefits, retirement, grievance procedures, and performance reviews, the bill dictates that the "status quo" will be maintained, meaning the terms of the current agreement will continue unchanged, or that the state's proposed terms will be adopted. For any other mandatory collective bargaining issues not specifically mentioned in this bill or the state's budget (General Appropriations Act), the resolution will follow existing personnel rules or maintain the status quo of the current bargaining agreement.
