Virginia's collective bargaining laws for public sector workers will not be expanded this year, according to one of the sponsors of legislation.

Collective bargaining gives workers a voice, ensures equal treatment, and provides due process to workers. These are the very concepts that this country is based on and some politicians choose to work to strip Americans of these rights using a myriad of excuses to justify their cowardice. We, the workers, will not be silenced, we will not wait "our turn", and we will not settle for less! Public workers deserve the same as anyone else. If you are an employer, public or private, and you are afraid of your workers having a voice then you are doing something wrong. Governor Spanberger, sign the bill now!

Virginia teachers and firefighters are urging Governor Abigail Spanberger to sign a collective bargaining bill they say could give frontline workers a stronger voice on everything from staffing and safety to pay and classroom conditions.

It was a busy night in Virginia for Labor. HB 1263, a bill that would allow public sector workers to have a voice, was substituted by Governor Spanberger. If the bill passes as amended it would set Virginia workers up for full public sector collective bargaining by 2030. This bill is nowhere near perfect but still a marked improvement over the current system. Additionally, Newport News Mayor Phillip Jones announced he is bringing collective bargaining in the city of Newport News to a vote in June. Either of these actions would be a significant step from the past 78 years since the prohibition went in to place.
