Bill > H2265

This bill aims to restore and strengthen collective bargaining rights for teachers and other school employees in Massachusetts by amending existing laws. Specifically, it removes language that limited the scope of collective bargaining, such as references to "practices" and the ability to negotiate "contracts, collective bargaining agreements." It also clarifies that certain aspects of school employee relations are now explicitly subject to Chapter 150E, which is the Massachusetts law governing public employee collective bargaining, thereby ensuring that these employees have the right to negotiate terms and conditions of their employment through their unions.
