Local workers
Removes the requirement that deadlocked negotiations with safety forces go to binding arbitration, instead extending the prior union contract for one year.
Allows employers to hire permanent replacement workers during a strike.
Removes health insurance from collective bargaining. Management would pick a uniform insurance policy that would apply both to themselves and workers, and employees must cover at least 20 percent of the cost.
Prohibits public employers from picking up employee pension contributions.
Removes from state law automatic pay increases for experience and education.
Eliminates from state law leave policies and automatic 15 sick days for teachers.
