WHEREAS, AB 1400 as amended would delegate all decisions on
employee/employer relations except for salaries and wages where an
impasse had been reached to an arbitration board. and the decision
of said board would be final, and
WHEREAS, said bill would provide that all questions relative
to retirement, vacation, sick leave, health benefits, life insurance
and any other fringe benefits or working conditions would be removed
from the decision making responsibility and authority of_ the City
Council, and
WHEREAS, such compulsory and binding arbitration is contrary
to the basic principals of the representative form of government
which retain control in the hands of the people through their elected
representatives, and
WHEREAS, said bill would be a delegation of_ said representative
powers to an arbitration board, and.
WHEREAS, this bill is also discriminatory in that it applies only
to police and firemen and is contrary to the recently inacted legislation
by the State of California regarding labor relations for public agencies
which would extend the same rights and privileges to all public employees,
