Fauquier supervisors adopt resolution opposing state-mandated collective bargaining bills
Summary
The board adopted a resolution opposing HB1263 and SB378, saying the bills would remove local option and impose a one-size-fits-all framework administered by a state board; staff said the resolution also includes sending a letter to the governor.
The Fauquier County Board adopted a resolution opposing proposed state legislation that would impose mandatory collective bargaining (HB1263 and SB378). Staff (Ms. Downs) summarized the board's concerns that the bills would eliminate local option, shift authority from locally elected officials, and impose an unfunded administrative framework administered by a public-employee relations board.
Ms. Downs said the resolution would be accompanied by a letter to the governor stating the board's position and noted that a majority of Virginia localities planned to adopt similar resolutions. A supervisor moved and the board carried the resolution by voice vote.
