Board adopts resolution opposing mandatory collective bargaining for local government employees
Summary
The Board voted to adopt a VACo-supported resolution opposing mandatory collective bargaining legislation (HB 1263 and SB 378), citing concerns about local authority and potential fiscal impacts on rural counties.
Nottoway County's Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution on March 19 opposing proposed state legislation that would impose mandatory collective bargaining on local government employees. Administrator Bowen introduced the VACo-supported measure, which argued for preserving local control over workforce decisions and highlighted potential fiscal impacts for rural counties.
Supervisor Richard H. Ingram moved to approve the resolution and Vice Chairman George G. Toth III seconded. The Board recorded the motion as approved by voice vote with Supervisor John A. Roark absent. The resolution will be forwarded to VACo as part of the county's advocacy on the issue.
