Monrovia Faces Impasse With Employees; Will Consider Imposing Its Final Offer

Facing a labor negotiations impasse with city employees, the Monrovia City Council will decide (among other things) whether to unilaterally impose its final offer. http://goo.gl/TrUW3

 

According to the staff report: "Unfortunately, no agreement was reached. MMEA employees took a vote on August 11, 2011, wherein they elected not to accept the City's last and best and final offer."

 

With that, the City Council will decide at its September 6 meeting whether to unilaterally implement the city's "last, best and final offer to the Monrovia Municipal Employees Association."

 

However, just before the regular council meeting will be a closed session which includes "Conference with Labor Negotiator." Perhaps a last-minute attempt at an agreement.
