Many state positions are covered by collective bargaining agreements (union contracts). Your manager or human resource staff can tell you whether you're position is covered by a bargaining agreement, and which master agreement applies to you.

The Labor Relations Office (LRO) was established to negotiate master agreements on behalf of the Governor with union-represented employees.
