We have for members of MOU 08 & 17 the City’s response to MOU 8 & 17 Final Settlement Proposal.

We have verified the legitimacy of the Documents and present them with the knowledge they may be subject to change but the likelihood of that is extremely slim.

This final proposal Will be submitted to the Members of MOU 08 & 17 and the past practice of the Union is to fail to provide the Actual Contract to the members as was the case in the ratification election and re-vote with MOU 18.

As much as I attempt to stop myself from highlighting the agreement it is something I can not resist as it draws attention to critical points.

I will remain unbiased and instead challenge the Leaders along with the bargaining Team members of MOU 08 & 17 to support or not support this agreement and Paul Kim to act responsibly or face the same fate as the MOU 18 Rep.

In the interest of fairness the Executive Board of this union should make certain that the Full text of the agreement as well as Unbiased voting information is presented to the members for their ratification vote.

Michael Hunt has taken a long journey on behalf of the MOU 08 & 17 members as have many others who led them away from EAA and into SEIU 721, Can they now tow the union line or will they speak honestly on the merits of this contract?

It is my belief that this contract is NOT what they had in mind when they began their journey and I can’t see the majority of the members or the bargaining team backing this contract.

Below are the Main points of the agreement followed by the Actual proposal Page 1 in jpeg format as well as the entire PDF for download.
