An Act relative to the collective bargaining rights for employees of the committee for public counsel services

This bill grants employees of the Committee for Public Counsel Services the right to collectively bargain by officially designating the committee as their employer under state labor laws. It achieves this by amending Chapter 150E to include the committee in the legal definition of a public employer and by adding the committee to the list of state agencies eligible for collective bargaining agreements. These changes allow the committee's staff to negotiate wages, benefits, and working conditions through a formal union process similar to other public sector employees.
