West Covina City Council lN,."
1ANUARY 15, 2019, 7:00 PM �"
REGULAR MEETING " , (r,:�.''
Good evening Mayor Johnson and councilmembers.
I'm Rebecca Urac. I am a lifelong resident of West Covina and homeowner. I have 2
daughters that I am raising here in our city; they attend our public schools as did 1. I am
very involved in our schools and community.
But I am also an employee of the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts. I have been
working there for almost 19 years. I am here tonight as a member of AFSCME speaking on
behalf of over 800 employees across 6 bargaining units, some of which are still in a labor
dispute with Management after almost 2 years of collective bargaining.
Mayor Johnson, we spoke briefly after the last board of directors meeting in December so I
know you are aware of what is going on, this information is for the other councilmembers.
• We provide solid waste and wastewater management for 78 cities including this
one. Our work is vital to protecting both public health and the environment, and we
continually receive recognition and awards.
• We also have the lowest sewer rates of any metropolitan agency in the U.S. Orange
County for example charges their ratepayers nearly double what we do.
• Despite this, our Management is trying to force a pay cut on all employees, one that
will adversely impact families for decades to come.
• The workers are only asking for a reasonable COLA that keeps up with inflation...
AND to NOT have our pay cut.
• Management admits there is no financial reason for the pay cut. We have strong
reserves, our approved budgets and rates already incorporate what the workers are
asking for, and our pensions are nearly fully funded.
• Moreover, they have withheld Cost of Living Increases for the past two years in an
attempt to bully the employees into accepting this pay cut.
• We have gone through both mediation and fact finding... and the Fact Finder
confirmed two very important points: A) the Districts can easily afford what we're
asking for, and B) what we're asking for won't increase rates at all.
• The issue... Years ago, the Districts agreed to pay the employees' 7% member
contribution to Ca1PERS in lieu of an 8.5% Cost of Living Adjustment owed to the
employees. This 7% has always been part of the employees' compensation.
Management now wants to simply take that payment away, without making the
employees whole.
• Our union of sanitation workers has voted to reject Management's plan and has said
they will take job action up to and including a strike. But, let's be honest... no one
wants a strike.
As Districts' Directors you've been misled:
1) The 7% EPMC is not a mutable benefit... it is employee compensation
2) The Fact -finder said the argument for it being vested "is persuasive"... that
the union should get language protecting it. Management conveniently
ignores that recommendation.
3) Animus and distrust from the employees has resulted in a 10% voluntary
attrition among PEPRA employees... 3% agency -wide. They'll tell you it's less
than 1%.
4) There is nothing in the Joint Administration Agreement protocol that
prevents the Collective Committee of Directors - who approves terms and
conditions of our employment - from discussing in open session and making
a motion for terms and conditions different from what the Personnel
Committee recommends.
• Mayor Johnson, council members, we are asking that each of you send a letter of
support asking the Sanitation Districts Management to immediately withdraw their
unreasonable position of a pay cut, and resolve the labor dispute with a fair contract
for the employees. I have left a sample support letter for your consideration.
