Relating to: ratification of the agreement negotiated between the University of Wisconsin–Madison and the Wisconsin State Building Trades Negotiating Committee, for the 2025-26 fiscal year, covering employees in the building trades crafts collective bargaining unit, and authorizing an expenditure of funds. (FE)

AB 788 ratifies a negotiated agreement between the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Wisconsin State Building Trades Negotiating Committee for the 2025-26 fiscal year, covering union-represented building trades workers. The bill authorizes state funds to implement the agreement, which was approved by affected employees and the joint employment relations committee. It requires the university to submit a certified copy of the agreement to the secretary of state for official record. This is a procedural bill that formalizes an existing labor contract, not a new policy.
