HOGAN, Judge.

This is an original proceeding in prohibition. We are called on to decide whether the Open Meetings Act, §§ 610.010-610.030, RSMo 1978, V.A.M.S., requires that relators' bargaining sessions or their discussions of negotiations being held pursuant to the Public Sector Labor Law, §§ 105.500-105.530, RSMo 1978, V.A.M.S., be conducted as open meetings. We conclude it does not.
