Dickenson supervisors pass resolution opposing state-mandated collective bargaining
Summary
The board passed a resolution opposing recently passed state-level mandatory collective bargaining legislation, aligning with VACo's request and noting local legislators had voted against the measure.
The Dickenson County Board of Supervisors voted to adopt a resolution opposing recently passed state legislation that would establish mandatory collective bargaining at the state level.
Staff said the Virginia Association of Counties (VACo) requested counties consider similar resolutions to express concerns about the additional costs and administrative burdens imposed on localities. Staff noted that the countys state delegates and senator had opposed the legislation in committee or on floor votes according to the packet.
Board members passed the resolution by voice vote and indicated they would send a copy to the governors office as VACo requested.
The resolution expresses the boards preference to retain local options for labor relations and requests the governor and General Assembly consider the financial and administrative impacts on counties.
