New Jersey SCR13 proposes an amendment to the state Constitution to grant public employees the right to collective bargaining.

New Jersey SCR13 proposes an amendment to the state Constitution to explicitly grant public employees the right to engage in collective bargaining. Currently, public employees can form unions and submit grievances and proposals, but collective bargaining is not explicitly stated as a right. This amendment would require collective negotiation with employee representatives, ensuring a formal process for addressing employee concerns and improving workplace relations.
