MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
This Memorandum of Understanding (this "MOU") is made on February 27, 2024 , 2024 (the
"Effective Date") and sets forth the agreement between the City of South Bend, Indiana (the
"City"), and Teamsters Local Union No. 364, affiliated with the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters of America (the "Union") (collectively, the "Parties").
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Parties entered into a Master Agreement ("Agreement") to provide for
equitable and peaceful adjustment of differences which may arise, further a mutual and voluntary
effort to promote and maintain sound labor relations, and to establish other conditions of
employment for the calendar years 2022-2024; and
WHEREAS, the Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana ("Common Council")
passed Ordinance Number 7997-89 on July 24, 1989, fixing the maximum wages and monetary
fringe benefits for Teamsters Union employees of the City for the calendar years 1990 through
1992. Further, each subsequent contract cycle, the Common Council has passed an ordinance
fixing the maximum wages for Union employees. Prior to the most recent budget cycle, Council
most recently passed an ordinance fixing maximum wages for Union employees on October 10,
2022 in Ordinance Number 10893-22 for calendar year 2023 (the "Salary Ordinance"); and
WHEREAS, conditions since the adoption of the 2023 Salary Ordinance have changed so
as to warrant additional compensation for certain Teamster positions in the 2024 Salary
Ordinance, particularly within the Equipment Services Work Group. As a result of these
conditions, the City desires to increase the wages of the Building Maintenance, General Laborer,
Machinist IV and V, Mechanic III, IV, and V, and Parts Clerk I and II positions to bring these
wages more in line with the private sector in order to retain and attract employees in these roles;
and
WHEREAS, the City of South Bend Common Council adopted many of these increases in
Ordinance Number 10980-23 on October 9, 2023; and
WHEREAS, the Parties mutually desire to amend the Agreement to include these updated
wage rates for 2024 and agree that any wage rates not currently reflected in Ordinance Number
10980-23 shall be updated through the City's filing of an amended Salary Ordinance.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:
1. The Agreement, particularly the Equipment Services Supplemental, shall be
amended to include the following wage rates. The City will file an amended Salary Ordinance
requesting that the Common Council amend the Salary Ordinance to the extent that any of
these rates are not currently reflected in Ordinance Number 10980-23.
