An Act to provide collective bargaining rights to employees of the mosquito control projects and mosquito control districts

This bill (HD 562) extends collective bargaining rights to employees working for mosquito control districts and projects in Massachusetts. It amends state law to require these employers to follow Chapter 150E, the state's public-sector labor relations law. The state Reclamation and Mosquito Control Board is designated as the employer for these purposes under Chapter 150E. The bill directly affects workers in mosquito control operations by granting them the right to form unions and negotiate contracts. It makes no changes to the scope of mosquito control work, only to the labor relations framework governing those employees.
