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