HomeMy WebLinkAboutR-2021-124 Waiver of Collective Bargaining for AFSCME Employees Long-Term Disability and Additional Life Insurance BenefitsRESOLUTION NO.2021-124
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DANIA
BEACH, FLORIDA, JOINING WITH THE AMERICAN FEDERATION OF
STATE, COUNTY AND MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEES ("AFSCME") UNION IN
WAIVING COLLECTIVE BARGAINING OVER THE CITY PROVIDING
AFSCME EMPLOYEES LONG-TERM DISABILITY AND ADDITIONAL LIFE
INSURANCE BENEFITS; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; FURTHER,
PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the City and AFSCME are parties to a Collective Bargaining Agreement
which provides AFSCME bargaining unit employees health insurance and life insurance benefits;
and
WHEREAS, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2021-105 which will provide
enhanced employee benefits to City employees for Fiscal Year 2021-22, but cannot unilaterally
provide the same benefits to AFSCME employees without first engaging in collective bargaining
or if both the City and AFSCME waive bargaining; and
WHEREAS, on July 7, 2021, the City Human Resources Department Director informed
AFSCME's representative of the enhanced benefits and was then advised that AFSCME waived
the necessity of collective bargaining; and
WHEREAS, although the City Commission finds it better practice to negotiate benefit
issues such as health and life insurance benefits in combination with all other wage and benefit
issues when collective bargaining occurs in full, the City Commission also finds that providing
enhanced life insurance and long-term disability benefits to AFSCME will not adversely affect
future collective bargaining;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA:
Section 1. That the foregoing "Whereas" clauses are ratified and confirmed to be true
and correct and they are made a part of and are incorporated into this Resolution by this reference.
Section 2. That the City Commission of the City of Dania Beach, Florida waives
collective bargaining with AFSCME so that AFSCME bargaining unit employees may be offered
the same disability and life insurance benefits as reflected in Resolution No. 2021-105 on an equal
basis as non -bargaining unit City employees who are covered by the City's Personnel Policy
Manual ("PPM").
Section 3. That all resolutions or parts of resolutions in conflict with this Resolution are
repealed to the extent of such conflict.
Section 4. That this Resolution shall be in force and take effect immediately upon its
passage and adoption.
PASSED and ADOPTED on August 24, 2021.
