§ 19605 Supervisory Employee Demonstration Projects

(a) Supervisory employees, as defined in subdivision (g) of Section 3513, shall not be included within any demonstration project unless there are written agreements with respect to the demonstration project between the affected state agency and all verified supervisory employee organizations that represent supervisory employees covered by the demonstration project. (b) Employees within any bargaining unit with respect to which a labor organization has not been accorded exclusive recognition shall not be included within any demonstration project unless the employer first meets and confers in good faith with the employees and any employee organizations representing the employees. “Meet and confer in good faith” means that the employer and employees and employee organizations shall have the mutual obligation personally to meet and confer promptly upon request by either party and continue for a reasonable time in order to exchange freely information, opinions, and proposals, and to endeavor to reach agreement.
