IAFF Local 368 request to reopen negotiations discussed in closed session; no action taken
Summary
The committee read a request from International Association of Fire Fighters Local 368 to reopen negotiations on work week schedule and hours and discussed the item in closed session under the state's bargaining statute; the committee did not take action on the item during open session.
The City of Manitowoc Personnel Committee read a request from the International Association of Fire Fighters Local 368 (AFL-CIO) to reopen negotiations concerning work week schedule and hours and discussed the matter in closed session under Wisconsin statute.
The committee read a notice and said it would consider the item in closed session under Wis. Stat. 19.85(1)(e), which permits closed deliberations when competitive or bargaining reasons require confidentiality. A motion to convene in closed session was made and seconded, and a roll-call vote was taken (Alder Cummings: aye; Alder Dunbar: aye; Alder Beaman: aye). The committee then returned to open session and announced it was not taking any action on item 25-0484 at that meeting.
Action: Item 25-0484 (request by IAFF Local 368 to reopen negotiations on work week schedule and hours) was discussed in closed session under Wis. Stat. 19.85(1)(e); the committee did not take action on the item in open session.
Why it matters: The request relates to collective bargaining between the city and the firefighters' union; closed-session consideration is permitted by state law when bargaining confidentiality is required.
