*Authorize a Settlement Agreement between the City and Laborers’ Local 483 granting deferred holiday hours to employees that worked or teleworked between March 17 and March 31, 2020

The City of Portland ordains: Section 1. The Council finds: The City and Laborers' Local 483 (the Union) are parties to a collective bargaining agreement effective July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2022 . Article 9.7 of the collective bargaining agreement calls for deferred holiday for any employee required to report to work when the Mayor or their designee announces a Citywide closure. This deferred holiday will be equal to the number of hours the employee was regularly scheduled to work. On March 12th 2020, the City of Portland declared a State of Emergency due to increasing concern with COVID-19. On April 8, 2020, the Union filed a grievance, asserting a Citywide closure and entitlement to deferred holidays under Article 9.7 of the collective bargaining agreement. During the State of Emergency, the Mayor did not announce a Citywide closure, and City services, while altered, continued. The City and the Union came to a Settlement Agreement that would grant Union members that worked or teleworked between March 17th and March 31st deferred holiday credit for shift hours worked during that period. NOW THEREFORE, the Council directs: The Settlement Agreement between the City and the Union attached as Exhibit A is hereby ratified by Council. Section 2. The Council declares that an emergency exists because delay will inhibit the proper implementation of the provisions of this agreement, therefore this ordinance shall be in full force and effect after its passage by Council.
