HB 572: Prohibits Collective Bargaining for Public Service Unions

Primary Sponsor

Raymond J. Crews

Summary

Collective bargaining costs a Louisiana family of four approximately $3000 per year. Collective bargaining agreements are typically negotiated in secret and remain in effect for years at a time. They generally govern pay, working conditions, and establish a reduction in force protocol that typically retains workers based on seniority rather than merit.
