HI HR63

Requests the Hawaii Labor Relations Board to establish objective standards and criteria for determining when state workers should be split into new bargaining units.

Cites the National Labor Relations Act's framework that units are appropriate when employees share a community of interest in wages, hours, and working conditions.

Notes that Hawaii Revised Statutes section 89-6 currently recognizes fifteen bargaining units but the Legislature lacks objective standards to evaluate new unit requests.

Requires the Hawaii Labor Relations Board to submit a report with findings, recommendations, and any proposed legislation to the Legislature no later than twenty days before the 2024 Regular Session.

Directs certified copies be sent to the Governor and Chief Negotiator of the Office of Collective Bargaining.
