Analysis by the 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 and all state employees may collectively bargain over wages, hours, and conditions of employment under the State Employment Labor Relations Act. This bill also permits University of Wisconsin System employees to 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.
