H.485 is a bill introduced by Representative Casey of Montpelier that aims to grant unionized State employees in the Executive Branch and the Judiciary the right to strike. This legislation seeks to enhance the labor rights of these employees, allowing them to engage in strike actions as a means of negotiating better working conditions and terms of employment.

The bill proposes to amend the current State Employees Labor Relations Act to include provisions that explicitly recognize and protect the right to strike for unionized employees within the specified branches of government. This change reflects a commitment to supporting the collective bargaining rights of State employees and ensuring they have the ability to advocate for their interests effectively.
