"At this time, a Public Hearing is now called on Miscellaneous Resolution #8900-A -

Notice of the Hearing was published in the Oakland Press on August 4, 1979."
The Chairperson asked if any person wished to speak.
No one requested to be heard and the Public Hearing was declared closed.
Daniel T. Murphy, County Executive presented the following message:
Last December, I pledged to this Board of Commissioners that my administration would
carefully monitor business and labor union compliance with the President's exhortation that wage
and salary increases be held to 7 percent. I further promised to report to you at mid-year on any
discrepancy between the President's guideline and general wage and salary practice, and to make any
recommendations which seemed appropriate regarding non-union salary levels.
As you will recall, this Board of Commissioners demonstrated its support of the President's
guideline by holding salary increases for non-union employees to 7 percent, with the exception of
elected officials, who were held at 6 percent. This was done despite an inflation rate of 9.8
percent for 1978. Therefore, our non-union employees suffered a loss of real income because their
salary increase fell considerably below the increase in the cost of living.
Now, with regret, I must report that few others honored the 7 percent guideline. In fact,
according to the most recent figures from the Council on Wage and Price Stability, union contracts
have run at an annual rate of increase of 9.2 percent during the first six months of this year.
Most major union contract settlements have exceeded the guideline by slightly more, as illustrated
by the following examples:
. bommissioners Minutes Continued. August 9, 1979
The Teamsters Union settled for 1 e p. :tent increase over 3 years,
unitoe Airlines employees, 339 r :•r years,
Viet-lean Airlines Flight ri os, i. 4 to 48.9 per over 3 years,
Airlines, 28.5 percent ov

In d.et (tt, a number of the major rontratAt Atlaments have included cost or living
adjustments en t. e • f the percentages I he just quo! C he average cost of living clause provides
for pay ad 21: r - . guel to 62 percilt ( ! h Consumer' Price Index, which means a 6.2 percent salary

last 28 years. (tenomic fceorae. ' • call for this Iho, to drop slightly, to just above 10 percent,
by year's end. i it d with the 9.8 percent rate in 1978, this means the cost of living will have
increased 20 petont in two ye.rs.
I woulo like to sum up the conclusions to be drawn from the data available to us:
1. The President's guidelines he t/. t al iced county employees while permitting many other
employee groups to receive salary increases . !tin- •thing or exceeding the inflation rate. Present
indications,- including the impending UAW negotietions, indicate this trend will only worsen in the
future.
2. The real income of county employees ...that is, the difference between earnings and
prices...has declined significantly in the last 1-1/2 years. This trend also shows no sign of
abating.
I should also point out that the non-union salary increases have totaled 45.5 percent
• since 1971, while the Consumer Price Index has gone up 78.6 percent in that same period. The
difference between those two figures is 33.7 percent and the decline in real income is approximately
• 23 percent.
3. Competiticl from other employers in this area, in the form of the wages they are
will to pay for .osT•I. clii ifications, remeins fairly intense.
Let me now akd i.tote rerso, . observations relevant to the hard data I've been presenting.
• Regarding "Itt te ,t conclut .g, that county employees have suffered from the. President's
• guideline, whilc. rhe rooter groups heve not, I flnd no logical reason for this situation. In the
past, it was e 're. • 'hat government salaries t !lid be held low because benefits were higher than
in the prival , ( •ot This is clearly ro Ion •• the case. Our benefits are good, and they are in
line with U.! 1 iv! s ,tor. but they e 'tail - • ee not better. It was also assumed in the past
that governmei , defo. •joyed fat. Frt - tho.rity than others, • hal! assumption has also
become a myth. rt ,t! m,, t t some 20 ,n !go-, f,r 'he City of No ,- it are lacing joblessness
due to budget d .t •tei hi many, Ile ty at . p1s could be ci, Meanwhile, even those
who adamantly , ( bail . out the Chrysler • - n are committ( 1 in principle to insuring
that its wort" o. not if -wn en NOSSo inte !e oti o true nt. In sum, our employees are roughly
equal with use others in Orums of benefits an j.l 'security.
Rectarding the fact that real income of cAinc, I ,y employees is declining, I should make clear
my feeling that this government can never take responsibility for insuring that wages and salaries
match the inflation c•.t No employer, public or private, ..! otarantee protection against erosion
of the dollar. At tld ( ea time, i believe we do have a rc ibility to slow down the rate of
decline in real earning! , if possible.
Similarly, on the fact that otiti salariet du not compare as favorably as they could with
those paid by other employers, both eovi•-••!!!!etal g td erlvate, I do not believe we should ever attempt
to match salaries dollar for dollar. TI,•t. kind 0'1 competition is fundamentally in opposition to
sound fiscal policy. The realities of tka employment marketplace, however, force us to at least
stay in the same league with other employers. We should not and cannot truly compete, in most cases,
but we must F- sure that we can attract hard working, talented employees. We should never let our-
selves drift •o the position cl h. ying to Gh ttit,e. from the bottom of the harrel.

• In tiosing, I would like ts g .t to, :ion -bout rhr link between salary increases
and employee productivity. As you know, at . .mtio , d has ea.ot(ided considerable time and effort
on this subject in recent years, We bel cc c:; I re made ough such endeavors as increased
computerization and energy conservation; egi e!(,ote Ott, r, e us drame• o examples could be cited, In
the private business sector, productivity has -1.e5 increasing at a rate of about i(-> percent, and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. August 9, 1979 379
we believe we have at le t matched - 6nd probably have exceeded - that figure.
I know the Board of Commissic is shares my feelings about productivity and wishes the
link between salary inci - , and incr( output could be made more direct. Unfortunately,
measurement of productiv:ty hi the prof_ions and other white collar occupations is still a very
inexact art, and in fact, it is not yet known whether it can ever be done with the same precision
as applies to assembly line and some other occupations.
Still, there can be little dispute that we have made productivity gains. We have a good
group of employees. They have worked hard over the years, and their morale has remained steady
despite serious erosions of their real income.
I urge you to give this proposal prompt and favorable attention.
Thank you.

WHEREAS the proposed House Bill No. 4645 would provide for legal public employee strikes
excluding police and fire employees; and

ments were made as follows:
A. Police and fire personnel included in the Act (with subsequent abolition of Act 312).

tion. Should the employer not agree to arbitration, the union would then be permitted to call a
strike.
C. Should the employer agree to binding arbitration, the following rules would apply:
1. Supervisory employees be exempted from collective bargaining and binding arbitration.
2. Limit retroactivity of awards so that they may be effective only at the beginning of
the next fiscal year, except where a new fiscal year had commenced since the initiation of arbitra-
tion procedures. This would be reinstating the provisions of the law prior to the 1977 amendment
on retroactivity,
3. Limit the number and the types of issues which can be arbitrated.
4. Require mediators to certify in writing that the parties have exhausted their ability
to compromise and an impasse exists.

arbitration.
