Cities, towns reminded to provide copies of all CBAs to state

March 8, 2016

The Department of Labor Relations is reminding all public employers that state law requires them to file a copy of all executed collective bargaining agreements with the DLR.
 
Public employers that are not currently in compliance with this statutory requirement (Ch. 150E, Sec. 7) are asked to file with the DLR an electronic copy of all collective bargaining agreements currently in effect no later than March 31.
 
A short description of each bargaining unit should accompany each filing.
 
The DLR’s E-file email address is efile.dlr@state.ma.us. Collective bargaining agreements that exceed email attachment size limits may be filed using the DLR’s large file transfer system. (For assistance using the system, call the DLR at (617) 626-7158.)
 
Public employers that post copies of collective bargaining agreements on a publicly accessible website may comply with the filing requirement by forwarding a short description of the bargaining unit with a link to the online CBA posting (in lieu of filing an electronic copy of the CBA).
 
For more information, visit www.mass.gov/dlr.

The above comes from the Massachusetts Municipal Association web page.
