Board adopts district initial proposals to multiple bargaining units by roll call
Summary
The board held a public hearing and adopted the district's initial proposals to several labor unions representing maintenance, custodial, technical and building trades workers; each motion passed on roll call (typical vote reported as seven ayes).
During a special order of business, the board read and adopted initial proposals from the district to a number of bargaining units as part of the 2016‑17 negotiations cycle.
Carmelo Escalado, chief of labor relations, read proposals for the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 6; Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 1021; International Union of Operating Engineers Local 39; International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers Local 21; Laborers International (LiUNA) Local 6261; and a package of building‑trades locals (including glaziers, ironworkers, carpenters, painters, sheet metal, plumbers and others). For each proposal the board held a public hearing, took a motion and approved the district's initial proposal by individual roll call votes. The clerk announced results for each vote, frequently reporting 7 ayes.
The actions are procedural steps required in collective bargaining and do not constitute final agreements; they put the district's initial positions on the record and advance negotiations with the unions named.
