Creates new provisions relating to joint employers

Summary

The bill replaces existing statutes with new sections that guarantee public employees – except police, deputy sheriffs, state highway patrol, National Guard members and teachers – the right to join labor organizations and bargain over pay and working conditions. It defines “first responder” and sets strict timelines for bargaining, mediation and arbitration, including how impasses are handled. The aim is to give public workers a clear, protected process for negotiating with their employers.
