Management Practices Self-Assessment <br /> 2.38 Collective Bargaining Procedures <br /> Collective bargaining procedures are identified prior to the initiation of negotiations. <br /> Collective bargaining procedures include deciding ground rules for bargaining teams in advance <br /> of the negotiating process. Items under negotiation may include wages, hours, terms and <br /> conditions of employment, participating in negotiations based on the principle of "good faith" <br /> bargaining, and recording agreements results from collective bargaining. The agency is <br /> represented on the negotiating team. The written record of agreement reached through <br /> negotiations is usually in the form of a contract signed by representatives from both parties. <br /> <br /> 1 <br /> Assigned to: Tammy Donahue Initial Review Date: 12/27/2002 <br /> Completed by: Tammy Donahue Compliance Date: <br /> Amount Complete: Full Compliance <br /> Documentation/Directives: <br /> Eu ene Cit Charter - Cha ter 6 -section 25 <br /> ~-y p <br /> Public Employees Collective Bargaining Act <br /> AFSCME Contract <br /> Bargainine Trauung A eg <br /> nda <br /> Bargaining Ground Rules <br /> Barg Notes <br /> Agency Compliance: <br /> At approximately 6 months prior to the expiration of the contract, the City and the Union form their <br /> negotiation teams, with a specific number of representatives from both sides. The roles are defined, a <br /> schedule is set, and ground rules are agreed upon. Past contracts have been bargained under traditionally <br /> bargaining strategies. The AFSCME contract is being bargained using an Interest Based Bargaining (lBB) <br /> Model in 2008. <br /> Information or interests are gathered through two surveys; an AFSCME survey sent to all AFSCME <br /> members and a Management survey sent to all management or supervisory staff that have AFSCME <br /> represented employees. From the surveys a list of interests will be generated for each survey; AFSCME <br /> and 1V,tanagement. A method to jointly communicate updates is being discussed. <br /> The IBB Facilitator is the official note taker and documents discussions or interests around the table for <br /> future reference. The City is responsible for writing up the final collective bargaining agreement, and <br /> documenting what was agreed upon at the bargaining table. The official contract is signed by the City <br /> Manager, the Central Services Executive Director , HR Director/Chief Negotiator for the City, AFSCME <br /> Counci175 Rep, Union President, and the union bargaining team. <br /> ©2004 American Public Works Association Version 5.0 <br /> 71 <br /> <br />
