Added after 5 pm on Nov. 1:
HB 4688 (Rep. Haadsma) Labor; collective bargaining; minimum staffing levels within a bargaining unit; make a mandatory subject of bargaining.
Food for thought -
Does this help the staff, the union, the corporation, the public, all of the above, or none of the above?
Choose all that apply.
