State Office of Labor Relations

We provide labor relations services for state managers and human resource officers in all executive branch agencies except the university system. Executive Order 40-2008 aestablished the bureau chief position as the Governor's authorized representative in all collective bargaining matters.

 

Things we do:

  • negotiate labor agreements;
  • provide assistance with contract administration and grievance processing;
  • represent state management in labor arbitrations; and
  • represent state management in matters involving collective bargaining and labor relations.

Our goal is to effectively represent the interests of state management while promoting cooperative labor-management relationships.
