	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 743, Keeley.  State employment:  supervisors.
   Under existing law, supervisory employees have the right to form,
join, and participate in the activities of supervisory organizations
of their own choosing for the purposes of representation on all
matters of supervisory employer-employee relations.
   This bill would provide that supervisors of state employees
represented by State Bargaining Unit 5, 6, or 8 shall receive salary
and benefits changes that are at least generally the economic
equivalent to the salary and benefits granted to employees they
supervise.  The bill would require that the determination of the
specific benefits that supervisors of state employees represented by
State Bargaining Unit 5, 6, or 8 shall receive be made through a meet
and confer process.
   This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.

receive shall be made through a meet and confer process as defined in
