SUMMARY:  The General Staff Bargaining Unit and Management Staff Bargaining Unit, represented by United Public Employees of California, Local 792, have agreed to Side-letter Agreements, included as Exhibit 9-A and Exhibit 9-B, that extend the terms of their Memorandums of Understanding (MOU) through the end of FY 2012-2013, with no changes. The unrepresented Confidential Staff Bargaining Unit has agreed to the same extension (Exhibit 9-C).

The text of the “Term of Agreement” articles in each MOU has been amended identically:

 

“The term of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect without change, addition or amendment through June 30, 2013 and shall be renewed thereafter subject to reopening by either party upon written notice to the other party no more than 120 days prior to June 30, 2013 or any June 30 anniversary date thereafter.”

 

RECOMMENDATION:  Approve by motion the Side-letter Agreements with the General Staff, Management Staff, and Confidential Staff Bargaining Units (Exhibit 9-A, Exhibit 9-B, and Exhibit 9-C) and authorize the General Manager to sign these labor agreements.

 

IMPACT ON STAFF RESOURCES: There is no cost associated with the terms of the side-letter agreements.
