An Act to protect the collective bargaining rights of certain administrative employees

This bill expands collective bargaining rights for certain administrative employees working for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It specifically includes staff in the Management Classification Series below level M-VI, provided their roles do not meet the legal definition of managerial duties or a union agreement does not already cover similar work. By amending the state's general laws, the legislation ensures these lower-level administrative workers can participate in negotiations regarding their employment terms. The change directly affects government employees who were previously excluded from these bargaining protections.
