Project Review <br /> Category: Human Resource Management <br /> Number; 2.30 <br /> Title: Collective Bargaining Procedures <br /> Statement: Collective bargaining procedures are identified prior to the initiation of negotiations. <br /> Description: Collective bargaining procedures include deciding ground rules for bargaining <br /> teams in advance of the negotiating process. Items under negotiation may include: <br /> wages, hours, terms and conditions of employment, participating in negotiations <br /> based on the principle of "good faith" bargaining, and recording agreements <br /> resulting from collective bargaining. The agency is represented on the negotiating <br /> team. The written record of agreement reached through negotiations is usually in <br /> the form of a contract signed by representatives from both parties. <br /> Assigned To: Tammy Donahue <br /> Date of Initial Review: 12/27/2002 <br /> Applicable to Agency: Yes <br /> Self Assessment <br /> Compliance Status: Full Compliance <br /> Date of Compliance: 1 /23/2003 <br /> Completed By: Tammy Donahue <br /> Directive/Documentation: Eugene City Charter -Chapter 6 -section 25 <br /> http://ceonline/ then select City Recorders Ofhce then select City Charter then scroll <br /> from there <br /> Public Employees Collective Bargaining Act <br /> http://www.erbstate.or.us/histry1c.htm <br /> AFSCME Contract <br /> \\cesrv500\onlineWFSCME\AfscmeColAfscmeCon-1.wpd <br /> Bargaining Ground rules <br /> Bargaining Notes <br /> Interview/Observation: 04/06/2004 -Helen Towle, Human Resource Division Manager, HRRS reviewed <br /> and provided input. <br /> Agency Compliance: At approximately 6 months prior to the contract expiring, the City and the Union <br /> form their negotiation teams, with a specific number of representatives from both <br /> sides. The roles are defined, a schedule is set, and ground rules are agreed upon. <br /> Each side selects an official note taker, to document the discussions around the <br /> table for future reference. <br /> Prior to beginning negotiations, supervisors and managers are surveyed for <br /> feedback on issues or problem areas with the current contract, that need to be <br /> addressed at the bargaining table. A list of issues is generated and prioritized by <br /> the City manager and the Executive Management Team. <br /> A complete notebook of the bargaining process is kept as a reference document for <br /> managers. The City is responsible for writing up the final collective bargaining <br /> agreement, documenting what was agreed upon at the bargaining table. The <br /> official contract is signed by the City Manager, the City's Chief Negotiator and the <br /> members of the union bargaining team. <br /> <br /> APWA Self Assessment - 4th EdFtion # 2.30 Page T of 2 <br /> <br />
