Permit Collective Bargaining for Committee for Public Counsel Services Employees Initiative – The initiative would permit employees of the Committee for Public Counsel Services (CPCS) to engage in collective bargaining with their employer. The CPCS workforce includes public defenders, social workers, investigators, and administrative staff.
VOTE YES ON 2 to enable public defenders to collectively bargain. Every worker deserves to have a union, and public defenders, who are often overworked and underpaid, should be no exception.
Progressive Mass recommends a Yes Vote. League of Women Voters (MA) takes no position.
