What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under this bill, all municipal employees may collectively bargain over wages,

hours, and conditions of employment under the Municipal Employment Relations

Act (MERA) and all state employees may collectively bargain over wages, hours, and

conditions of employment under the State Employment Labor Relations Act

collectively bargain over wages, hours, and conditions of employment similar to

employees covered by SELRA. In addition, this bill permits employees of the UW

Hospitals and Clinics Authority and certain home care and child care providers to

collectively bargain over wages, hours, and conditions of employment.
