Public employee organizations: negotiations: pension benefits.

Existing law provides for the representation of state or local public employees by recognized employee organizations, and provides that the scope of this representation includes negotiations concerning wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment between the state or local public employer and representatives of those employee organizations, as specified. This bill would exclude matters relating to pension benefits from the scope of representation of public employees by recognized employee organizations, and would thereby prohibit these employee organizations from negotiating pension benefits with public employers.
