Angelique Bywater urges Troy council to set dates for CCA contract talks
Summary
At the Jan. 2 Troy City Council meeting, resident Angelique Bywater urged the council to support scheduling a second round of contract negotiations for "CCA members," saying organizers have had only one meeting and have not received dates for a follow-up. The council had no legislative business and adjourned after public comment.
Angelique Bywater told the Troy City Council on Jan. 2 that organizers representing "CCA members" are seeking a fair contract and need the council's support to secure further negotiation dates. "We are continuing to fight for a contract for CCA members," Bywater said during the public-comment period.
Bywater said the group has "sent emails to request dates" and that "we met once; unfortunately it's kind of been on hold — we haven't received any dates for a second meeting." She asked the council for assistance in facilitating talks and added, "Our workers continue to work day in and day out and we're hoping to get a fair contract for our members." She urged the council to help the parties "sit at the table and meet."
The council did not have any items of legislation on its regular January agenda; the presiding officer said prior special meetings had addressed pending business. After the public-comment period, the presiding officer asked for a motion to adjourn. Council member McLaren moved to adjourn and Council member Vera seconded. The presiding officer called for a voice vote, said "all in favor," and declared the meeting adjourned. The clerk had reported four members present and three absent at roll call.
No action on the CCA request was recorded in the meeting minutes provided in the transcript; the public comment stands as a request for the council's support in scheduling additional contract negotiations. The transcript does not specify what agency or employer the CCA acronym refers to, nor does it list any scheduled follow-up dates.
