Abstract: Prohibits collective bargaining agreements for public officers and employees.
Proposed law prohibits a state, parish, city, town, or governmental body from recognizing any labor
union or other employee association as a bargaining or meet and confer agent of any public officers
or employees, or to collectively bargain, meet and confer, or enter into any collective bargaining
contract or memorandum of understanding that outlines terms and conditions of employment with
any labor union or association or its agents with respect to any matter relating to the public officer's
or employee's employment or service.
Present law defines "employer", "federal labor laws", and "governmental body".
Proposed law retains present law.
Proposed law exempts law enforcement and firefighter services to the applicability of proposed law.
