The Board of County Supervisors is exploring the possibility of adopting the practice and creating and staffing a new office of collective bargaining to manage the process. A new state law that went into effect on May 1 cleared the way for localities to choose whether or not to adopt the practice, 44 years after the Virginia Supreme Court ruled the blanket practice of collective bargaining illegal.
