CITY PROPOSAL:
RESOLVED, that the proper city officials are hereby authorized to execute
and implement a collective bargaining agreement with the Confidential Unit of the City of Duluth containing the same terms and conditions, and being substantially the same as that attached hereto, covering the years 2015 through 2017.
Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: The city and the Confidential Unit of the City of Duluth have negotiated a successor collective bargaining agreement (CBA) to their current 2012-2014 CBA. The parties tentatively agreed to a 2015-2017 collective bargaining agreement on July 1, 2015, and the Confidential Unit membership ratified this 2015-2017 collective bargaining agreement on July 8, 2015. This three-year contract has wage increases of 2.25% in 2015, 2.75% in 2016, and 2.75% in 2017. This CBA expands family dental insurance eligibility and increases cafeteria plan contributions for employees utilizing other sources of hospital-medical insurance. This CBA recognizes the Assistant City Attorney assigned to labor relations as a “confidential employee,” as mandated by Minn. Stat. 179A.03, Subd. 4.
