An Act relative to collective bargaining

This bill amends Massachusetts' collective bargaining law (Chapter 150E) to clarify which state employees are covered under the law. It removes a specific exclusion that previously prevented employees in the state secretary, treasurer, auditor, and attorney general departments from being classified as "employees" under the law. The bill then explicitly states that for these employees, their respective department heads (secretary, treasurer, etc.) will serve as the "employer" for collective bargaining purposes. This change directly affects employees in those four state departments by clarifying their bargaining unit structure under the existing law.
