Body

Whereas, 2011 Wisconsin Act 10 (“Act 10”) limited bargaining rights for general municipal employees to based wages and;

Whereas, City employees working under the IATSE labor agreement are in compensation group 28 and;

Whereas, the bargained wage increase legally allowed under Act 10 is less than the wage increase provided to other general municipal  employees in other compensation groups within the City and ;

Whereas, the City has a desire to provide equity to all wage increases to all compensation groups within the City and;

Whereas, this additional wage increase will make the total wage increase for City employees in compensation group 28 equitable;

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Common Council approves and adopts a wage increase for employees in compensation group 28 of 1.69% effective the last pay period of 2021 and the Human Resources Department is authorized to make the corresponding change to the salary schedules.
