Description
Although the open meeting law contained in G. L. c. 39, § 23A-23C, manifests a general policy that all meetings of a governmental body should be open to the public, it is permissible to conduct collective bargaining in executive session. [361] Despite the fact that the open meeting law contained in G. L. c. 39, § 23A-23C, manifests a general policy that all meetings of a governmental body should be open to the public, the Labor Relations Commission could properly determine that, by refusing to negotiate with the representatives of its employees in executive session, a town's board of selectmen failed to bargain collectively in good faith and, therefore, engaged in ""a prohibited practice for a public employer"" within the meaning of G. L. c. 150E, § 10(a)(5). [361-363]
