Title
Adoption of Two Memorandum of Understandings between the Village and AFSCME Local 368 Regarding Uniforms and Employee-Facing Dash Cameras
History
The Village and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, AFL-CIO Council 31, Local 368 are parties to a collective bargaining agreement (CBA), which expires on April 30, 2026.
To further this important relationship, the parties have discussed two topics: uniforms & protective clothing and employee-facing dash cameras. A memorandum of understanding (MOU) for each topic has been prepared for Board consideration.
Uniforms & Protective Clothing
This MOU replaces the way uniforms are selected for members of AFSCME. A working committee consisting of an equal number of AFSCME and Village management would be created for the purpose of making recommendations to the Director of Recreation & Parks and the Director of Public Works. Each director will decide which uniform items will be allowed for their respective employees. The decisions of the directors are not subject to the grievance procedure of the CBA. All other provisions of the CBA remain in full force and are not impacted by this MOU.
Employee-Facing Dash Cameras
This MOU seeks to clarify language regarding dual facing dash cameras in certain Village vehicles. The current CBA allows for the use of these cameras. As proposed, the employee-facing dash cameras will be turned off and will remain off unless extraordinary circumstances necessitate their use. The Village will use its discretion to determine when an extraordinary circumstance exists. Notice to the Union Boad will be provided in writing prior to activation of the employee-facing cameras. If activated, the employee-facing dash cameras will be limited to a specific period where the extraordinary circumstances exist. The street-facing camera will continue to be utilized. All other provisions of the CBA remain in full force and are not impacted by this MOU.
