-------------------------------------------------- x In the Matter of the Collective Bargaining Impasse Between NEW YORK CITY HOUSING AUTHORITY Recommendations And of Impasse Panel LOCAL 237,INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF TEAMSTERS -------------------------------------------------- x The panel is hereby submitting its recommendations so that the promised deadline date of February 15,1971, is adhered to. Findings and opinion will be submitted to the parties within a reasonable time subsequent to February 15. The panel has carefully reviewed all of the testimony and evidence submitted by both sides and is of the opinion that the recommendations outlined hereinafter are equitable and should be incorporated in the formal Agreement between the patties. Further, the panel has been advised that the parties have negotiated and have directly resolved other items which were not placed in issue. These are also to be contained in the Agreement, although not discussed nor referred to herein. The recommended salary schedule contains a three-step plan for salary adjustment, which would bring all employees on the payroll as of December 31,1970 to the maximum 1970 salary for their respective titles, in three yearly steps. Such adjustment is an equity improvement and made part of the total package recommendation. The additional rates result from the desire to assure a reasonable minimum increase to each employee and to reduce the number of separate rates in each classification.
2 Therefore, the panel recommends as follows: I-(A) Increases to employees employed on December 31, 1970 (attached hereto) (B) For employees hired after January 1, 1971 (attached hereto) II- Fringe adjustments as follows: (A) For Fireman Effective January 1, 1972 for work performed on Sunday within the employee's regularly scheduled five (5) day work week and Effective January 1, 1973 for work performed on Saturday and/or Sunday within the employee's regularly scheduled five (5) day work week, a premium amount of $1.50 per hour shall be added to the regular hourly rate. (B) Housing Guards (1) The uniform allowance shall be increased to $150.00. (2) Saturday and Sunday premium allowance shall be as recommended for Fireman in II (A) above. (C) Supper money for overtime work for blue collar workers starting January 1, 1971 shall be $3.50 after 3 hours overtime. (D) Welfare Fund Effective January 1, 1971 - $175.00 Effective January 1, 1972 - $250.00 (E) Caretaker "X - The differential shall be increased to $400.00.
3 (F) Caretaker "T" Those who perform full time driving shall be classified as Caretaker "X" and shall therefore become entitled to the $400.00 differential. The following was an inadvertent omission and should be included in the recommendations. FOR FIREMEN Shift differential - Shifts presently receiving a premium of $1.50 per day shall receive $2.00 per day premium. MAINTENANCE MEN 36 Annual Leave days as per annum schedule in Housing Authority; effective 1/1/71 accrual will begin. PROMOTIONS Employees promoted during the life of this contract will go to the minimum of the promoted title or to the next higher step if he is earning a greater salary in the lower title than such men of the title promoted to. This higher step referred to above is characterized by the 1973 salary scale outlined in impasse panel report schedule I (B).
4 (G) Plasterer and Plasterer Foreman mileage allowance shall be increased to fourteen (.14) cents per mile. (H) Teller - A Joint Committee representing the Housing Authority and the Union shall review vacation period requests and movement of Tellers from project to project to fill manpower needs due to vacancies and other emergency needs. Review and recommendations by the joint committee shall be based on operational problems and other pertinent factors. (I) Teller promotion to Housing Assistant. it is recommended that the Housing Authority apply to Civil Service for approval to make such appointments on a promotional basis rather than from the results of a city-wide exam. No other changes proposed are recommended. DATED: February 11, 1971 Respectfully submitted Impasse Panel Harry Silverman, Esq. Chairman Mr. Daniel House, Member Hon. Francis E. Rivera, Member
SCHEDULE I (A) Annual increases of employees employed on 12/31/70 are to be calculated by taking 1/3 of the difference between the December 31, 1970 annual salary and the 1973 salary level shown in the second column. The increases are to be effective on January 1, 1971, January 1,1972 and January 1, 1973. In slotting employees into the brackets in the first column, the true longevity pay (achieved at 10 and 15 years) shall not be counted, although it shall be maintained as part of such employee's actual rate; i.e. it shall be re-added after the annual increase provided here is added to his base rate in order to arrive at that employee's actual rate of pay for each year.
