The Labor Relations Commission administers and enforces the Commonwealth's collective bargaining laws. These laws give public employees, and employees of private employers not subject to the jurisdiction of the National Labor Relations Board, the right to organize and bargain collectively with their employers. The Commission determines appropriate bargaining units; conducts union representation elections; adjudicates prohibited labor practice charges; and enforces the statutory prohibition against public employee strikes.

Budget Recommendations

The amount recommended for Fiscal Year 1998 will enable the Commission to provide the same level of services as in Fiscal Year 1997.
