SUBJECT
Title
Amend the Salary Resolution for Various Benefits and Language Clarifications for Consistency Among Various Employee Groups
Report
BACKGROUND
Unrepresented management employees and Department Directors are not organized and do not negotiate for any changes to their wages, hours, and/or other terms and conditions of employment.
