Virginia’s public employees deserve the right to collective bargaining. Ask Virginia Senators to vote YES on SB378.
Note: This Senate bill may be heard in the Senate Committee on Finance & Appropriations as early as Tues, Feb 10.
Read a description of SB378.
Did you know that Virginia public employees don’t have Collective Bargaining rights?
The General Assembly took it away in 1946, in Jim Crow legislation passed after Black nurses attempted to organize at the UVA hospital. Restoring it will facilitate public employee recruitment and retention and help ensure that state employees and the employees of all localities make a living wage and have a voice in their workplaces.
Virginia labor unions support this bill. It passed the General Assembly last year; then Gov. Youngkin vetoed it. Ask our Virginia senators to vote YES on SB378, which also establishes a Virginia Home Care Authority as the public employer of individual home care providers
