Summary
The Kansas system of public sector collective bargaining grants very limited rights to bargaining to both police and non-police units. In particular, the Kansas Public Employer Employee Relations Act (PEERA) sets the scope of bargaining very narrowly, and Kansas Public Employee Relations Board (PERB) construes its own authority to order bargaining even more narrowly. For those reasons, there are very few PERB decisions and even fewer that deal with the scope of bargaining. Of the bargaining decisions that exist, most are in the police or firefighter context, which may be an indication that the Board is more likely to order bargaining in those contexts.
