The bill H.256, introduced by Representative Krasnow of South Burlington, aims to amend the Judiciary Employees Labor Relations Act to allow Judiciary supervisors to organize and bargain collectively. The bill modifies the definition of "Employee" within the act, specifically removing the term "supervisory" from the list of exclusions that define who is not considered an employee eligible for collective bargaining. This change indicates a shift in the status of Judiciary supervisors, potentially allowing them to participate in labor relations activities.
Additionally, the bill includes a provision that establishes an effective date for the new law, stating that it will take effect on July 1, 2025. This timeline provides a clear implementation schedule for the proposed changes, which could significantly impact the labor relations landscape within the Judiciary Department in Vermont.
