Relating to: ratification of the agreement negotiated between the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Wisconsin State Building Trades Negotiating Committee, for the 2024-25 fiscal year, covering employees in the building trades crafts collective bargaining unit, and authorizing an expenditure of funds. (FE)
AB 95 ratifies a collective bargaining agreement between the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Wisconsin State Building Trades Negotiating Committee for the 2024-25 fiscal year. It covers employees in the building trades crafts unit (e.g., electricians, plumbers, carpenters) and authorizes the university to spend existing funds to implement the agreement. The bill requires the university to file the official agreement with the secretary of state for record-keeping. This is a procedural ratification of a negotiated labor deal, not a new policy, directly affecting building trades workers at UW-Madison.
