Assembly Members

THRU: Mayor Bagley

FROM: Richard Campbell, General Services Director

DATE: December 4, 2000

SUBJECT: A Resolution Approving Labor Negotiation Procedures for a New Collective Bargaining Agreement

The current labor agreement with our employee's association will expire on June 30, 2001. Negotiations are scheduled to begin in January. This resolution is being submitted to get the assembly's approval for the negotiating procedures agreed upon between the association and borough administration.

Please note that, whether the final contract is successfully negotiated by the parties or is a product of binding arbitration, the assembly still has final approval of the contract submitted to it.
