HI HR75

Urges the United States Senate to adopt Senate Resolution 51, introduced by Senator Mazie Hirono on February 6, 2017, to protect federal employee collective bargaining rights and civil service protections.

Opposes efforts to reduce federal workforce pay and benefits, eliminate civil service employment protections, undermine collective bargaining, and increase use of non-federal contractors for inherently governmental activities.

Declares that threats to collective bargaining and the civil service system constitute threats to the health, welfare, and safety of Hawaii's people, consistent with Hawaii's state policy under Chapters 76 and 89, HRS.

Directs transmission of certified copies to the President, Vice President, President Pro Tempore of the United States Senate, all U.S. Senators, Hawaii's Congressional Delegation, and all public-sector bargaining units in Hawaii.
