A PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE STATE CONSTITUTION TO EXTEND STATE CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES THE RIGHT TO COLLECTIVE BARGAINING WITH BINDING ARBITRATION
The proposed constitutional amendment would:
-Extend state classified employees, through appropriate bargaining units determined by the Civil Service Commission, the right to elect bargaining representatives (labor unions) for the purpose of bargaining with the state employer.
-Require the state to bargain in good faith with any elected representatives over wages, hours, pensions, and other terms and conditions of employment.
-Extend the bargaining representatives the right to submit any unresolved disputes to binding arbitration 30 days after the commencement of bargaining.
