2022 House Bill 5808

Democratic union/labor package – anti-school privatization

Introduced in the House

Feb. 23, 2022

Introduced by Rep. Nate Shannon (D-25)

To repeal a law that prohibits teachers unions from bargaining to get a school district to agree to not privatize noninstructional support services including bus, custodial, or food services, even if doing so would save the district money. This is part of a 35-bill package introduced by Democrats in the state House and Senate that would roll-back limitations enacted since the 1990s on the power of public employee unions, and on the authority of public schools and government employers, to seek various cost-saving provisions or grant cost-raising provisions in union labor contracts.

Referred to the Committee on Education
