An Act relative to collective bargaining rights of Massachusetts employees
This bill clarifies the process for maintaining collective bargaining representation when Massachusetts government agencies lose jurisdiction over public employee bargaining units. It requires the Department of Labor Relations to automatically certify the existing union as the exclusive bargaining representative if a government agency determines the workers are no longer covered by law or declines to handle the case. This applies specifically to public employees whose bargaining units face jurisdictional changes, ensuring continuity of representation without new rights or benefits.
