RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2018/233 in support of the public sector unions in Contra Costa County to ensure their health and success; and supporting the freedom of Contra Costa employees to participate in strong unions following the U. S. Supreme Court decision inJanus v. AFSCME Council 31.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

BACKGROUND:

While the impacts of the United States Supreme Court case Janus v. AFSCME Council 31 will take some time to determine, it is clear that the ruling will restrict unions from requiring fees from non-member employees who benefit from collective bargaining, thereby impacting the unions' power to effectively negotiate on behalf of all public sector workers. Adoption of a Resolution in support of collective bargaining will declare the County's support of those who work and provide public service to the public in Contra Costa County.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Possible delay in implementing the impacts of the Janus decision.
