in some respects to participate or discuss these terms,
they would have an avenue to do it in, but as for the
ultimate determination of the amount of wages, the conditions
of work and the various other regulatory matters affecting
the State and its employees, this would continue as it
always has.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Bothe, I think Delegate
Weidemeyer's question is directed to you in the sense of
asking whether the State as an employer or a political
subdivision or municipality as an employer and not
as a maker of laws vould have any right to prescribe
regulations with respect to its employees. Is that your
question. Delegate Weidemeyer?
DELEGATE WEIDEMEYER: It was and I had this
in mind.
And I had this in mind, that the word "employees"
was so all-inclusive without any further qualification or
specification that it would include employees of the
state and therefore the Legislature at some turn of events
might choose to say that we do not want to have our employees
organized or bargain collectively with it.
