This bill mandates that public employers under chapter 41.80 RCW must provide employee information to exclusive bargaining representatives. It amends RCW 41.80.075 to clarify the applicability of RCW 41.56.065 to specific employers, removing references to Western Washington University, Central Washington University, Eastern Washington University, and The Evergreen State College from the list of employers subject to this chapter.
The changes aim to streamline the process of information sharing between public employers and bargaining representatives, ensuring that employee data is accessible for collective bargaining purposes. By eliminating the specific university names, the bill may broaden the scope of employers required to comply with the information-sharing requirement.
