§ 3614. Rights unaltered
(a) This chapter does not alter or infringe upon the rights of:
(1) a parent or legal guardian to select and discontinue child care services of any early care and education provider;
(2) an early care and education provider to choose, direct, and terminate the services of any employee that provides care in that home; or
(3) the Judiciary and General Assembly to make programmatic modifications to the delivery of State services through child care subsidy programs, including standards of eligibility for families, legal guardians, and providers participating in child care subsidy programs, and to the nature of services provided.
(b) Nothing in this chapter shall affect the rights and obligations of private sector employers and employees under the National Labor Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. §§ 151-169, or the Vermont State Labor Relations Act, 21 V.S.A. §§ 1501-1624. The terms and conditions of employment with individual early care and education providers, which are the subjects of traditional collective bargaining between employers and their employees and which are governed by federal laws, fall outside the limited scope of bargaining defined in this chapter. (Added 2013, No. 187 (Adj. Sess.), § 2, eff. June 5, 2014.)
