237 | Wisconsin | SB28 | https://www.billtrack50.com/billdetail/1559657/22354 | This bill would classify county jailers as protective occupation participants. The bill would stipulate that county jailers are general municipal employees unless a county is already treating county jailers as public safety employees when the bill goes into effect. However, if a county "raises a question concerning the appropriateness of including county jailers in a collective bargaining unit that includes public safety employees," county jailers may not be treated as public safety employees. | Bipartisan | Dead or carried over to 2024 | Available for scheduling 3/16/2023 | 3/16/2023 | N/A |
238 | Wisconsin | SB564 | https://www.billtrack50.com/billdetail/1645756/22354 | This bill would allow state and municipal employees to bargain over any increase in wages, instead of only over a base wage percentage increase not exceeding the consumer price index increase. It would allow most state and municipal employees to bargain over hours and employment conditions. The bill would also allow state and municipal bargaining units to be elected by a majority of employees voting, rather than over 51% of employees in the unit. It also removes the requirement for bargaining units to be recertified annually. | Democratic | Dead or carried over to 2024 | Fiscal estimate received 11/9/2023 | 11/9/2023 | N/A |
