In late January, 1995, the Council also produced its Pre-final Recommendation for a Successor Law (to Ch. 111.70 municipal labor dispute resolution procedures.) Although this product could have been submitted to the Legislature by early February, 1995, the Council deemed it advisable to submit it instead to public scrutiny by conducting 4 more public hearings in various locations within the state. As a result of those hearings, some modifications to the Pre-final Recommendations were made.
The enclosed minutes of the Council's meeting on June 13, 1995, explain those changes. The minutes were approved by 8-0 vote of the Council at a meeting conducted by telephone on July 28, 1995. By the same vote, the Council authorized the two members who were missing from the telephone conference call to indicate their approval of the June 13, 1995 minutes at a later time. Both did so. The Council also directed that a copy of an outline of the Council's "Amended Pre-final Recommendations" (which reflects it final work product as modified at its last meeting on June 13, 1995) be included as a clarifying exhibit to the minutes, along with its original Pre-final Recommendations.
On behalf of the Council, I want to express its appreciation for the opportunity for representatives of organized labor and municipal employers to convene and work towards a common goal. It succeeded in shaping the format of its subsequent discussions and debates by unanimously (10-0) establishing a set of "Guiding Principles"; by another unanimous (10-0) vote it adopted an Analysis and Assessment of Each of the Changes Proposed by the Governor Section
111.70(4)(cm) in 1993 Senate Bill 44; by a 7-3 vote it adopted its Pre-final Recommendations for a Successor Law; finally, by an 8-2 vote it produced an Amended Pre-final Report (Outline).
The Council is pleased to observe a few of its recommendations have been enacted into law as a part of the adopted Budget, While it would have preferred to have completed its work prior to legislative action, it recognizes and respects the fact that the state political process as reflected by the Governor and the members of the Legislature is the alpha and omega of municipal labor relations, and that end-products of that process cannot always be perfectly coordinated with other events.
On behalf of each individual member of the Council I extend best wishes to the Governor and each member of the Legislature. Each Council member--and I--share with all of you the hope that municipal labor relations in the State of Wisconsin will continue to reflect the proud tradition of peaceful, productive municipal collective bargaining which has been established in this state by the energies and examples of numerous representatives of each side working together toward that end.
Sincerely,
a. henry hempe
