RESOLUTION <br /> A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE <br /> CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, VOICING THEIR <br /> SUPPORT FOR THE SECRETARIES OF THE SOUTH <br /> BEND SCHOOL CORPORATION <br /> WHEREAS, the Common Council recognizes that in 1984, 90 of the 116 <br /> secretaries and clerical workers of the South Bend School Corporation voted <br /> in favor of union representation; and <br /> WHEREAS, community support in favor of the secretaries and clerical <br /> workers right to organize has gained several significant endorsements <br /> including those from: the United Religious Community, National Organization <br /> of Women, Women's International Federation, the Postal Workers, and the <br /> Labor Students Association of Indiana University at South Bend; and <br /> WHEREAS, at the last South Bend School Board meeting, the secretaries <br /> and clerical workers filed petitions bearing over 2,200 signatures <br /> supporting their position; and <br /> WHEREAS, since there is no State law addressing the right to organize <br /> for secretaries and clerical workers of the School Corporation, the Council <br /> suggests that the School Board reconsider its decision which denied the <br /> group to formally vote on joining a union. <br /> NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of <br /> South Bend, Indiana, as follows: <br /> SECTION I. The Common Council voices its support on behalf of the <br /> secretaries and clerical workers of the South Bend School Corporation in <br /> their continuing effort to be able to vote on joining a union. <br /> SECTION II. The Council requests that a copy of this Resolution be <br /> sent by the City Clerk's office to Loretta Jacobson, President of the School <br /> Board. <br /> SECTION III. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect from <br /> and after its adoption by the Common Council and approval by the Mayor. <br /> / Jose . Serg- Euge �'a Braboy / • <br /> erlie J.
