Connecticut State Board of Labor Relations
|
|
The State Board of
Labor Relations
is a quasi-judicial agency that investigates all
petitions and complaints, holds informal conferences
with the parties and attempts to mediate settlements. By
this process, most disputed questions or entire cases
are settled. Determinations are then made as to which
cases should be presented to the Labor Board.
The Board conducts
hearings and issues decisions. It also defines and
protects the statutory rights of public sector and some
private sector employees to form, join or assist labor
organizations. It also encourages and protects the right
of employees and employers to bargain collectively.
The
Board administers the major portion of four collective
bargaining statutes covering state and municipal
employees, public school teachers and certain
administrators and some private sector employees. |
