RESOLUTION OPPOSING CERTAIN AMENDMENTS
TO THE
PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT LABOR RELATIONS ACT
WHEREAS, the City of St. Louis Park is governed by the Public Employment
Labor Relations Act (Minnesota Statutes 179.61-179.77), provisions of
which prohibit supervisors from being members of the bargaining units
composed of those employees whom they supervise; and
WHEREAS, Senate File 338 and House File 1242 seek to amend that Act
to limit the definition of supervisor in such a manner as to make the
City Manager the only supervisory employee in the City of St. Louis
Park; and
WHEREAS, this amendment would put genuine supervisors in bargaining
units with their subordinates, creating serious conflicts of interest
and undermining management's ability to effectively direct the em-
ployees of the City; therefore,
BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of St. Louis
Park strongly urges the Legislature to defeat Senate File 388 and
House File 1242.
