The first priority in attaining equitable relationships shall be achieving compensation equity for the most undervalued classes in the lowest salary ranges. (2) State management, in each branch of government, shall, when establishing or modifying personnel plans and policies in compensation and classification matters, or in collective bargaining, arbitration and grievance procedures, hold equity in compensation and classification matters as an important consideration.
