Bill > H2244

This bill amends Section 7(c)(ii) of chapter 372 of the Acts of 1984 of the General Laws, which pertains to collective bargaining agreements for certain Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) employees. Specifically, it removes the existing language that allowed collective bargaining agreements to protect employees against actions taken on "arbitrary, capricious or unreasonable grounds" and replaces it with the phrase "for just cause," meaning that any protections for employees in these agreements must now be based on a legitimate and fair reason for disciplinary action.
