Concerning collective bargaining for employees not covered by the national labor relations act.

Summary

The law creates a new state labor‑relations chapter that lets employees and employers negotiate wages, hours and conditions when federal law no longer preempts such regulation. It defines who is covered, sets up a commission to certify bargaining representatives, and provides mediation, arbitration and enforcement tools. The measure aims to preserve the benefits of collective bargaining for Washington’s economy and social fabric.
