The bill H.333, introduced by a group of Vermont Representatives, aims to extend collective bargaining rights to agricultural workers by amending the State Labor Relations Act. Specifically, it modifies the definition of "Employee" in 21 V.S.A. § 1502 by repealing the exclusion of agricultural laborers from this definition. This change allows agricultural workers to be recognized as employees under the law, thereby granting them the same rights to collective bargaining as other workers.

Additionally, the bill includes an effective date, stating that the new provisions will take effect on July 1, 2025. This timeline allows for the necessary adjustments and preparations for both employers and agricultural workers to comply with the new legal framework regarding labor relations.
