In 2020, the General Assembly amended Virginia Code Section 40.1-57.2 to allow collective bargaining in Virginia localities with specified parameters. After receiving briefings from Human Resources and the City Attorney’s Office, Virginia Beach City Council approved a resolution to create a task force to study the feasibility of collective bargaining for the City workforce.
The Collective Bargaining Task Force is an eleven-member body, appointed by the Virginia Beach City Council and responsible for studying the feasibility of collective bargaining for the City workforce.
Beginning Friday, Oct. 6, the task force will meet once a week. Task force meetings are open to the public and a notice with information on meeting times and locations will be posted on the City’s public meeting calendar no later than three business days prior to the meeting.
All task force member terms expire on Tuesday, Dec. 5, 2023.
