BILL · 2011–12 SESSION · LATEST VERSION EHB 2011

HB 2011: Corrections dept. employees

Enhancing the safety of employees working for the department of corrections through collective bargaining and binding interest arbitration.

Summary

Applies the collective bargaining provisions of the Public Employees' Collective Bargaining Act (PECBA), instead of the Personnel System Reform Act (PSRA), to employees working for the Department of Corrections (Department).
Provides that the scope of mandatory bargaining:
includes terms and conditions of employment relevant to employee safety, such as staffing levels with a direct relationship to employee workload and safety;
excludes matters pertaining to management rights, such as the employer's budget, the size of the agency's workforce, and the right to direct and supervise employees; and
is otherwise the same as described in the PSRA, and includes wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment.
Extends the binding interest arbitration provisions of the PECBA to Department employees, but only for terms and conditions of employment relevant to employee safety.
