RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2018/9 approving the Side Letter between Contra Costa County and the Physicians’ and Dentists’ Organization of Contra Costa modifying Section 2.6 Written Statement for New Employees of the Memorandum of Understanding pursuant to AB 119.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This is a change to administrative process and has no direct fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

AB 119, which mandates union access to new employee orientations, was passed on June 27, 2017 and took effect immediately. The bill places an affirmative burden on public agencies to immediately begin doing three things:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Providing to the union the name, job title, department, work location, work, home, personal cellular telephone number, personal email address, and home address of any new employee within 30 days of hire or by the first pay period of the month following hire (Gov. Code §3558);

Providing to the union the information in #2 every 120 days for all employees(Gov. Code §3558).

Most of the County’s current memoranda of understanding include a procedure for unions to access employees during orientation. Several of our bargaining groups, including PDOCC, requested that the County bargain over the structure, time, and manner of access of the union to a new employee orientation. The County and PDOCC agree to incorporate the attached side letter into Section 2.6 - Written Statement for New Employees of the Memorandum of Understanding.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the side letter of agreement is not approved, the current process for onboarding new employees will continue until an alternative process is adopted.
