FROM: - Jerry Dulgar , Chairman
MAMA Committee on Labor Relations Subscriber
Service Contract
SUBJECT: LABOR RELATIONS SUBSCRIBER SERVICE
In November , 1982, I was appointed to chair a committee to negotiate
the Special Subscriber Services portion of the agreement between the
League of Minnesota Cities and Labor Relations Associates, Inc 'In
addition , Jack Irving and Bob Thistle were appointed to the
Committee. Also participating in the negotiating process were Don
Slater , Executive Director , League of Minnesota Cities and Vern
Peterson, Executive Director ; Association of Metropolitan
Municipalities. In view of the current State fiscal crisis, I am
leased to report that there will only be a 3 to 5% increase
depending on the city' s population. Since there was no increase in
the 1982-83 fee the increase in fees over the two years is only an
averaged 1-1/2 to 2-1/2% increase.
General Membership Services
The current ( 1982-1983 ) agreement provides for two types of labor
relations services. The first is "General Membership Services"
for cities' that are members of the LMC and AMM. Each of these
organizations contribute an amount to the labor services fund on
behalf of their memberships. The "General Membership Services"
part of the agreement provides for : Articles in the LMC Cities
magazine; general advice and assistance by telephone or
correspondence; one personal conference; advice on arbitrator
selection; and advice and assistance to LMC staff relating to
proposed or adopted state and federal legislation.
AMM Service
The AMM services include meetings, telephone calls, review 'of
proposals and counter-proposals with regard to an AMM member ' s
labor relations efforts, and general coordination of the
metropolitan cities ' labor relations goals.
