AI Summary

This bill aims to restore collective bargaining rights for teachers and other school employees in Massachusetts. It does this by amending the state's education laws to remove provisions that limited or restricted collective bargaining for these public sector workers. Specifically, the bill deletes sections that prohibited certain collective bargaining practices, removed language restricting collective bargaining, and restored the applicability of the state's labor relations law (Chapter 150E) to these employees. The overall effect is to reinstate the ability of teachers and other school staff to collectively negotiate the terms and conditions of their employment.
