An Act relative to fair worker representation on joint purchasing group committees

HD 2714 requires Massachusetts governmental agencies forming joint purchasing committees (for shared procurement of goods/services) to include at least 25% labor representatives elected by workers' unions. The bill also mandates one retiree member appointed by the Retired State, County, and Municipal Association of Massachusetts. All committee members, including labor and retiree representatives, serve as voting members. This directly affects state/local agencies using joint purchasing agreements and ensures worker and retiree input in procurement decisions.
