SUBJECT: Recommendation for Approval of Collective Bargaining Agreement
Amendments regarding Wages and Casual Day
DATE: April 28, 2020
Beginning on April 13, 2020, the City Manager and Director of Human Resources
Shelley Stickfort initiated formal conversations with the representatives of the City's five
unions regarding the possibility of amending their collective bargaining agreements
given the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the City of Dubuque's current and future
economic situation. The series of conversations resulted in six proposed amendments
to articles within each of the current agreements related to wages and casual day. All of
the unions' membership voted to ratify the amendments. The collaborative spirit in the
face of these unprecedented times, as demonstrated by the union representatives and
their membership, to work toward a resolution that in part addresses the economic
challenges facing the City of Dubuque, is greatly valued. My special thanks to Marty
Fitzpatrick of the Dubuque Professional Fire Fighters Association Local #25; Kurt
Rosenthal of the Dubuque Police Protective Association; Brian Vaske of the
International Union of Operating Engineers AFLCIO Local #234; and Kevin Saylor of
Teamsters Local Union No. 120 and Teamsters Local Union No. 120 Bus Operators.
Human Resources Director Shelley Stickfort recommends City Council approval of
amendments to the collective bargaining agreements as follows:
All five of the collective bargaining units have agreed to accept no pay increase in Fiscal
Year 2021, instead of the previously negotiated pay increase of 1.5%. In return the City
has agreed to provide an additional casual day each year beginning in Fiscal Year
2020. Also, the agreements will be amended to change the FY 2022 pay increase from
1.75% to 3% and for those that have a FY 2022 agreement (the Teamsters do not) they
will be amended from providing a 3% pay increase to a providing a 3.25% pay increase.
The savings of$730,934 from these amended collective bargaining agreements was
included in the Fiscal Year 2021 Amended Budget Recommendation that the City
Council approved at the April 23, 2020 budget public hearing.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

RE: Recommendation for Approval of Collective Bargaining Agreement Amendments re:
Wages and Casual Day.
Beginning on April 13, 2020,the City Manager and Director of Human Resources for the City of
Dubuque initiated formal conversations with the representatives of the City's five unions
regarding the possibility of amending their five collective bargaining agreements given the
impact of the novel coronavirus or COVID-19 pandemic on the City of Dubuque's current and
future economic situation.
The unions and their representatives who participated in the conversations are as follows:
Teamsters Local Union No. 120—Kevin Saylor, Business Agent;
Teamsters Local Union No. 120 Bus Operators—Kevin Saylor, Business Agent;
The International Union of Operating Engineers AFL-CIO Local #234 — Brian Vaske, Business
Representative;
Dubuque Police Protective Association (DPPA)—Kurt Rosenthal, President; and
The Dubuque Professional Fire Fighters Association Local #25 - Martin Fitzpatrick, President
The series of conversations resulted in six proposed amendments to articles within each of the
current agreements related to wages and casual day and the recently ratified Dubuque Police
Protective Association agreement that goes into effect July 1, 2020. Each of the unions
presented the amendment language to their respective membership for a vote. All of the unions'
membership voted to ratify the amendments.
The collaborative spirit in the face of these unprecedented times, as demonstrated by the union
representatives and their membership, to work toward a resolution that in part addresses the
economic challenges facing the City of Dubuque, is greatly valued.
I am recommending that the City Council approve ratification of the amendments to the
collective bargaining agreements as presented in full and summarized as follows:
