Statewide Joint Labor/Management Committees (LMCs) approve projects and funding for implementing contractual benefits for the various public employee unions (Public Employees Federation, Civil Service Employees Association, Council 82, etc.). Projects include health insurance, tuition reimbursement, training, health and safety programs, and others. Some negotiated projects become significant long-term programs (for example, the GOER Child Care Unit). LMC members are Governor's Office of Employee Relations (GOER) and public employee union appointees; decisions are reached by consensus.

These records were created by GOER's representatives on Statewide Joint Labor/Management Committees (LMCs) to document contractual benefit issues considered and official decisions made by these committees. The records contain meeting minutes, agendas, and other meeting materials; committee member correspondence; and signed project authorizations.
