Resolution 41: Collective Bargaining

Submitted by the International Union of Police Associations

R e f er r e d t o   th e Resolutions C ommit t ee

WHEREAS, collective bargaining is essential to the promotion of economic health and administrative protections for public safety employees; and

WHEREAS, collective bargaining is the most efficient manner in which to resolve workplace disputes; and

WHEREAS, employees of federal, state and local governments are among the only workers in America who do not have the right to collectively bargain; and

WHEREAS, public safety employees cannot engage in strikes or slowdowns without being accused of jeopardizing public safety; and

WHEREAS, collective bargaining without the right to strike is simply mandated communication between an employer and his employees, be it

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the AFL-CIO supports, endorses and has continuously advocated for the Employer-Employee Cooperation Act, which guarantees this basic human right to collectively bargain for wages, hours, and working conditions for public safety employees.
