An Act relative to the structure of the Commonwealth Employment Relations Board

This bill restructures the Commonwealth Employment Relations Board in Massachusetts to ensure balanced representation among its three members. The board would consist of one representative from organized labor, one from municipal management, and one neutral member, all appointed by the governor for staggered five-year terms. To prevent political dominance, the legislation includes a rule that no more than two members can belong to the same political party. Additionally, the board would operate independently from the executive office of labor and workforce development, though it must share non-sensitive information upon request.
