Bargaining Committee for the <br /> Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge No. 36, was held on May 1, 1986. <br /> Numerous negotiating sessions since that time have taken place. <br /> Negotiations between the respective bargaining teams culminated in <br /> a tentative agreement being reached between the bargaining committees. <br /> Unfortunately, the tentative agreement was subsequently turned down by <br /> the rank and file of the Police Department. <br /> The City Negotiating Team has been clear in its objectives and has <br /> had the unanimous and continuing support of the South Bend Common <br /> Council and the City Administration. <br /> The overall goals which the City Negotiating Team have attempted <br /> to achieve include increased productivity of City personnel resulting <br /> in better service to the public and decreasing paid time off, as well <br /> as negotiating a fair wage and benefit package which can be afforded by <br /> the City. <br /> In accordance with the directives received by your negotiating <br /> team, the City Negotiating Team has stated on numerous occasions that <br /> the best possible wage and benefit package would be the one negotiated <br /> across the table. <br />
