AB 2060: Collective bargaining: wages: stipends for mentor teachers.

Under existing law, public school employees have the right to form, join, and participate in the activities of employee organizations of their own choosing for the purpose of representation on all matters of employer-employee relations, as provided. Existing law gives public school employee organizations the right to represent their members in their employment relations with public school employers, as defined, and limits the scope of representation to matters relating to wages, hours of employment, and other terms and conditions of employment, as defined. Existing law requires a public school employer or their representatives to meet and negotiate with, and only with, representatives of employee organizations selected as exclusive representatives of appropriate units, upon request, with regard to matters within the scope of representation, as specified.

This bill would expressly provide that wages, for purposes of the above-described collective bargaining provisions, include stipends for mentor teachers.
