"NEW SECTION.  Sec. 1   The legislature finds that, as of 2010, the challenges posed by low wages and lack of training that the legislature identified in enacting the child care career and wage ladder persist, and the availability of quality child care in the state continues to suffer. The legislature intends to address these problems by creating the possibility for a new relationship between child care center directors and workers and the state. Child care center directors and workers are to be given the opportunity to work collectively to improve standards in their profession and to expand opportunities for educational advancement to ensure continuous quality improvement in the delivery of early learning services. Family child care providers in the state have recently been given a similar opportunity, and the results of their efforts have improved standards and quality for that segment of the child care industry.
     The legislature intends to create a new type of collective bargaining for these directors and workers whereby they can come together and bargain with the state over matters within the state's purview to improve the quality of child care for the state's families. Unlike traditional collective bargaining, this new approach will afford these directors and workers the opportunity to bargain with the state only over the state's support for child care centers, a matter of common concern to both directors and workers. Specific terms and conditions of employment at individual centers, which are the subjects of traditional collective bargaining between employers and their employees, fall outside the limited scope of bargaining defined by this act. Accordingly, traditional policy concerns over supervisors and employees being organized into a common bargaining unit are inapplicable. Sharing a community of interest in the subjects of bargaining enables directors and workers to work side by side in the same bargaining unit for common goals.
     This new approach to collective bargaining is available only to center directors and workers who file a notice of intent to participate in the initial opt in phase under section 4 of this act. This new bargaining relationship does not intrude in any manner upon those relationships governed by the national labor relations act (29 U.S.C. Sec. 151 et seq.). Child care center directors and workers do not forfeit their rights under the national labor relations act by becoming members of an organization that represents them in their dealings with the state. Under the national labor relations act, an organization that represents child care center directors and workers in bargaining with the state under this act is precluded from representing workers seeking to engage in traditional collective bargaining with their employer over specific terms and conditions of employment at individual child care centers.
     Nothing in this act is intended to create any unfunded mandates or financial obligations on child care centers covered by this act.

Sec. 2   RCW 41.56.028 and 2007 c 278 s 2 are each amended to read as follows:
     (1) In addition to the entities listed in RCW 41.56.020, this chapter applies to the governor with respect to family child care providers and to child care center directors and workers who choose to opt in under section 4 of this act. Solely for the purposes of collective bargaining and as expressly limited under subsections (2) and (3) of this section, the governor is the public employer of family child care providers and of child care center directors and workers who, solely for the purposes of collective bargaining, are public employees. The public employer shall be represented for bargaining purposes by the governor or the governor's designee appointed under chapter 41.80 RCW.

Retirement benefits shall not be subject to collective bargaining. By such obligation neither party shall be compelled to agree to a proposal or be required to make a concession unless otherwise provided in this chapter.
     (((d))) (ii) Notwithstanding the definition of "collective bargaining" in RCW 41.56.030(4), the matters subject to bargaining under this section for child care center directors and workers shall be within the purview of the state and within the community of interest of child care center directors and workers. The public employer is: (A) Required to bargain over: (I) The manner and rate of subsidy and reimbursement, so long as any agreement is consistent with the provisions of any quality rating and improvement system; (II) funding for professional development and training; (III) mechanisms and funding to improve the access of child care centers to health care insurance and other benefit programs; and (IV) grievance procedures to resolve disputes arising out of the interpretation or application of the collective bargaining agreement; and (B) prohibited from bargaining over retirement benefits. By such obligation neither party shall be compelled to agree to a proposal or be required to make a concession unless otherwise provided in this chapter.

     (i) With respect to commencement of negotiations between the governor and the exclusive bargaining representative of family child care providers, negotiations shall be commenced initially upon certification of an exclusive bargaining representative under (a) of this subsection and, thereafter, by February 1st of any even-numbered year; and
     (ii) The decision of the arbitration panel is not binding on the legislature and, if the legislature does not approve the request for funds necessary to implement the compensation and benefit provisions of the arbitrated collective bargaining agreement, is not binding on the state.
     (e) Nothing in chapter 54, Laws of 2006, or this act grants family child care providers ((do not have)) and child care center directors and workers the right to strike.
     (3) Family child care providers and child care center directors and workers who are public employees solely for the purposes of collective bargaining under subsection (1) of this section are not, for that reason, employees of the state for any purpose.

The governor shall not enter into, extend, or renew any agreement under this section that does not expressly reserve the legislative rights described in this subsection (4)(((d))) (f).
     (5) Upon meeting the requirements of subsection (6) of this section, the governor must submit, as a part of the proposed biennial or supplemental operating budget submitted to the legislature under RCW 43.88.030, ((a)) requests for funds necessary to implement the compensation and benefit provisions of a collective bargaining agreement for family child care providers and a collective bargaining agreement for child care center directors and workers entered into under this section or for legislation necessary to implement such agreements.
     (6) ((A)) Requests for funds necessary to implement the compensation and benefit provisions of a collective bargaining agreement for family child care providers and a collective bargaining agreement for child care center directors and workers entered into under this section shall not be submitted by the governor to the legislature unless such ((request has)) requests have been:

If the director of financial management does not certify those provisions of the agreement as being feasible financially for the state, those provisions are not binding on the governor.
     (7) The legislature must approve or reject the submission of the requests for funds as a whole. If the legislature rejects or fails to act on the submissions, any such agreements will be reopened solely for the purpose of renegotiating the funds necessary to implement the agreements.
     (8) The governor shall periodically consult with the joint committee on employment relations established by RCW 41.80.010 regarding appropriations necessary to implement the compensation and benefit provisions of ((any)) a collective bargaining agreement for family child care providers and a collective bargaining agreement for child care center directors and workers and, upon completion of negotiations, advise the committee on the elements of the agreements and on any legislation necessary to implement such agreements.
     (9) After the expiration date of any collective bargaining agreement entered into under this section, all of the terms and conditions specified in any such agreement remain in effect until the effective date of a subsequent agreement, not to exceed one year from the expiration date stated in the agreement, except as provided in subsection (4)(((d))) (f) of this section.
