Federal Update: Mandatory Collective Bargaining for Public Safety Employees

               

Recently, the United States Senate moved one step closer to scheduling a vote on a mandatory collective bargaining bill when Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., re-introduced the Public Safety Employer–Employee Cooperation Act, S. 3194. He did so under a Senate rule that allows the bill to come to the floor in as little as 48 hours after introduction and without committee review.
