Title
Amending Section 3.53 of the Madison General Ordinances to include former represented employees.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: The passage of 2011 Wisconsin Act 10 and 2011 Wisconsin Act 32 altered the labor/management relationship for the City of Madison and its represented employees. With the expiration of the labor agreements, the City and its labor partners sought to develop a new approach to labor relations based on an interest based problem solving model to resolve conflict. These ordinance changes to Sec. 3.53, MGO, along with changes to the Personnel Rules, the creation of the General Municipal Employee Handbook and the new Employee Relations Committee created by Sec. 33.10, MGO, are the result of approximately two years and 30 meetings with representatives of labor and management. This ordinance eliminates a number of civil service and personnel rules in the ordinance, and a new set of rules, very similar to what existed in the ordinance, are adopted in the Personnel Rules. The Common Council will be required to approve any changes to these rules by resolution. The ordinance retains a grievance procedure for all non-represented employees.
