Public Meetings to Release Initial Bargaining Proposals
The Dept. of Personnel Administration has scheduled the public meetings* listed below in preparation for upcoming negotiations on new labor agreements.
These meetings provide an opportunity for the public to receive copies of the initial bargaining proposals and counterproposals from the Administration and the state employee unions whose contracts expire later this year, and to comment on those proposals and counterproposals.
If it becomes necessary to schedule additional meetings, we'll post the new dates on this page and issue an announcement that it has been updated.
