Dear Judge Berman:
I write in response to the Courts Endorsed Memo Order of March 21, 2013 (Doc.
1281) regarding the fully executed successor collective bargaining agreement between
the District Council and the Association of Wall-Ceiling & Carpentry industries of New
York, inc. (“WC&C”). Your Honor directed that “Mr. Walsh + Mr. Murphy are requested to
supply authorities for the proposition that this Court can approve a collective bargaining
agreement where only a MOU has been approved by a delegate body.”
I understand your request to be whether an approved memorandum of
understanding or agreement (here, “MOU”) that modifies an expired collective bargaining
agreement is materially the same as the fully executed successor collective bargaining
agreement (“CBA”), which merges the terms and conditions ofthe expired CBA with those
of the MOU. The answer is yes.

Murphy letter to Judge Berman

I would ask that if you would like to leave a comment that you think of Local 157 Blogspot as your online meeting hall and that you wouldn’t say anything on this site that you wouldn’t, say at a union meeting. Constructive criticism is welcome, as we all benefit from such advice. Obnoxious comments are not welcome.

One very simple question which is not addressed by Murphy, is why were the complete contracts NOT given to the delegates?
ReplyDeleteBylaws section 5.B.8. Review and approve or reject, in advance, all Collective Bargaining Agreements following a recommendation from the Executive Committee. If a Collective Bargaining Agreement is rejected, the Delegate Body shall promptly inform the Executive Committee in writing of any provision(s) that caused, or will cause as indicated by a non-binding vote, in whole or in part, the rejection.
no mention of reviewing parts of the contracts or that when the delegates approve an mou, that is the same as a contract, the bylaws say review the contract, not agree to broad undefined, terms without seeing the fine print.
