Dear Ferris;

The Commission's recommendation urging states to enact
legislation establishing a basic relationship between public
employers and employees in arriving at the terms and condi-
tions of employment represents a constructive and valuable
move in an area of public interest growing increasingly more
complex. I am disappointed, however, that the Commission's
recommendations fall short of supporting a more effective
role for public employees in reaching decisions on terms and
conditions of employment that affect them. Most particularly,
I favor a recommendation that states mandate "collective
negotiations" for their public employees. I request that the
following statement dissenting from the majority vote be
included in the Commissions report:

It is recognized that individual circumstances
in some states and their outlook as to how they
deSire to extend to public employees a role in
arriving at terms and conditions of employment may
call for an approach somewhat short of collective
negotiations. However, a growing number of states
are turning toward collective negotiations." In
my judgment the Commission's preference should be
the "collective negotiations approach, while
offering meet and confer in good faith as an
alternative to those states which felt that they

were not quite prepared to move into collective
negotiations immediately.

I appreciate the opportunity of expressing this view.

Sincerely,

.l
