We are responsible for promoting stable, productive and cooperative relationships between public employers and their represented employees by administering and enforcing the Massachusetts collective bargaining law, M.G.L. c. 150E (Chapter 150E). Section 10 of Chapter 150E describes the various types of unfair labor practice charges that we enforce.
