RE: Public Employee Labor Relations Act
Attached is a copy of the Public Employment Relations Act. Please note on page 12, 179A.07
RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF EMPLOYIItS subd 2 MEET AND NEGOTIATE.
We find it very interesting that it states it is the public employer's duty and obligation under
this subdivision, notwithstanding contrary provisions in a municipal charter, ordinance, or
resolution, to meet and negoflate in good faith with the exclusive representarive of public
employees in an appropriate unit, etc.
In our opinion, this proves our point that it is purely a media publicity stunt to bring forth the
big campaign to rescind the existing resolutions dealing with retiree health insurance benefits
that remain on the books, since PELRA states that terms and condirions of employment must
be negotiated in good faith. For this reason, we believe that Resolutions 95-303 and 95-304
before you today should be tabled or laid over until such time as all currently outstanding
contracts are setCled. This is the only fair way of handling this situation.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

My name is Thom Jordan and i am an Area Vice President for the Minnesota Senior
Federation - Metropolitan Region which has 20,000 members in the seven county

Federation.
The Ramsey County Chapter is calling on the Mayor of our city and members of the
City Council to conduct meaningful negotiations with AFSCME and compromise on the
issue of heaith insurance for retirees. Health insurance for retirees should be
discussed as part of the bargaining agreement process in the months to come. This
is such an important issue that it requires careful debate and negotiations where both
sides reasonably discuss the costs to the city and the impact on not only the
taxpayers but the current and future retirees from city government.
ft is time for the Mayor and some members of the City Council to stop their pubfic
attack on public employee retirees. These confrontations are not productive and give
only one side of the issue. �or many St. Paul residents who have served the city Sor
many years they deserve better than being criticized by the Mayor or City Gounci4.

The Senior Federation has been working on the issue of heaith care reform for many
years and has closely monitored the state and national debates. We also understand
the many difficult choices that the City of St. Paul must make to balance its budget
and still meet the needs of all of its residents. While it is cfear that heaith care reform
at the state or national level will not solve all the probfems in the near future, it is also
true that the cutt+ng benetits without caretul discussion and planning will hurt many St.
Paul residents.
The Senior Federation would be very interested in working with the City of St. Paul on
this important health care issue. LeYs get together at the negotiating table and
reasonably discuss the future of retiree health benefits as part of the bargaining
agreement. Certainly the City can develop a plan that is good for the ta�cpayers while
being fair to retirees.
Thank you for ihis opportunity to speak.
