#AB1577: an explainer.
This bill simply gives most staff who work for the legislature the same right all other public employees enjoy: the right to form a union & collectively bargain if they wish.
If the bill passes, the implementation has been delayed to mid year 2024.

The staff within the legislature would have to organize themselves into a union, with over 50% agreeing they want a union. Over 50% would have to agree on what union would represent them. It could be one you’ve heard of, or one that is independent and you’ve never heard of.
There are existing unions that already deal with allegations of conflict of interest, such as unions that represent journalists. There are unions that absolutely do not participate in political or lobbying efforts. Workers could choose any of these to organize with or create one.
