Labor: collective bargaining; minimum staffing levels within a bargaining unit; make a mandatory subject of bargaining. Amends secs. 11 & 15 of 1947 PA 336 (MCL 423.211 & 423.215).

This bill amends Michigan's public sector labor laws to explicitly include minimum staffing levels within a bargaining unit as a mandatory subject of collective bargaining. It clarifies that public employers must negotiate with employee representatives regarding these staffing numbers, while maintaining the right of individual employees to present grievances directly to their employers. The legislation applies to all public employees, with specific provisions for those under existing education laws, ensuring that staffing decisions become part of the standard negotiation process for wages and working conditions.
