Legal College Intern - Labor Relations & HR Policy

About Us:

The Ohio Department of Administrative Services (DAS) takes great pride in its work to support the priorities of the DeWine-Tressel administration to ease access for those doing business with the state, secure state data and technology resources, and create efficiencies for our state government partners while keeping costs in check.

DAS is the engine of state government, providing innovative solutions and supporting the efficient operation of state agencies, boards, and commissions. DAS program areas serve our Ohio government customers, who in turn directly serve the interests of Ohioans. We help procure goods and services, deliver information technology and mail, recruit and train personnel, promote equal access to the state workforce, lease and manage office space, process payroll, print publications, and perform a variety of other services.

The Office of Collective Bargaining (OCB) directs the state’s labor relations and human resources policy. This includes representing the State of Ohio as the chief labor relations entity in the negotiation of state labor contracts, managing dispute resolution through advocacy in mediation and arbitration, training state agencies on the labor contracts, daily contract administration and providing guidance to State agencies on the development of business continuity plans. OCB also provides guidance on human resources policies and application of civil service law to the state agencies, boards and commissions under the Governor’s authority.
