Sansbury Associate Vice Chancellor for Financial Affairs ĢƵ Mister Chairman, members of the Committee, I am Jim Sansbury, Associate Vice Chancellor for Financial Affairs of the ĢƵ. The USM has concerns about three proposed amendments in HB1220. First, a proposed amendment defines the term Employer to include the ĢƵ. We ask that the proposed definition in Section 3-101(e)(5) be modified to read: The ĢƵ System Institutions, Morgan State University, St. Marys College of Maryland, and Baltimore City Community College Since collective bargaining is at the institution level, this modification would be consistent with references to the System elsewhere in the statute. [See Sections 3-101 (g); 3-2A-08(a); 3-403(d)(1)]. Additionally, this modification would prevent any unintended expansion or confusion as to appropriate legal entity covered by the term Employer as it is currently used in the SHELRBs regulations concerning petitions for election and unfair labor practices. Second, we oppose the amendment sought to Section 3-601(b) which currently dictates the duration of a valid memorandum of understanding. As proposed, HB 1220 would extend the duration of any non-appropriation provision of an MOU indefinitely beyond its stated expiration date pending ratification of a successor MOU. To give you some context, the USM institutions have successfully negotiated all 24 initial MOUs. The USM Board of Regents has now ratified six successor MOUs. In those instances where negotiation and ratification of successor MOUs were not completed before the contract expiration date, consistent with standard labor law principles the institutions practice has been to treat the non-appropriation terms of an MOU as the status quo while the parties continued their efforts to negotiate the successor MOU. We are very concerned that the proposed modification could eliminate a significant existing management right. That is, should the institution not be able to reach an agreement with the exclusive representative and should the fact finding process fail to facilitate a negotiated settlement of a bargaining impasse, the institutions must retain the flexibility to implement its best and final offer. The proposed language would ostensibly keep current MOU language in place indefinitely and potentially perpetuate a stalemate which could thwart the ability of institutions to make necessary adjustments to certain policies or programs. Third, we oppose the amendment of 3-601 (c) to afford the Exclusive Representative seemingly unlimited discretion to determine the procedure it will follow to ratify a tentatively agreed upon MOU. At present, consistent with the laws restriction on the scope of bargaining units to individual USM institutions, an MOU is not effective until ratified by a majority of votes cast by the employees in the bargaining unit. Without further explanation of the intended purpose of this proposed change, we remain concerned that it could serve to undermine the statutorily proscribed limitation on the scope of bargaining units or allow the disenfranchisement of affected employees based on union membership. Thank you for considering our comments and I will be glad to answer any questions.  /A ".Žhs-jhs-Uhhi OJQJ^J hthL hL>*ht8hL5 hL5hL jhs-6:UmHnHu /`# A B   h i ; < z{~0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*^gdL$a$gdLgdL$a$gdL0*0*0*0*0*$a$gds-Z]ZgdLgdLGC$Eƀ,&gdL&1h:pL/ =!"#$h%'Dd 45J  C &Afrsealb&e4Tʣ\D˃G]&DnU&e4Tʣ\D˃GPNG  IHDRO%PLTE!!!!!!)))!)))11!1)111999!9)9)9)91999BBJRRRBJBG B)B1J)J1R1B)B)!H-J1R1R11R9R9B9J9R9J9!R9!B91RB!BB1BBBJJ9JJJ`Z9c9Z9cBcBZB!ZJ)ZJ1RJ9RRJZRJRRRZRRZZRZZZziF|O !cR)gV=ccRccc]x[/gRJkss{{k9k9s9kJoB{BFJJRRRkkksss{s{{{{!!))!{{1!1)9)9191B5J9NBRJZN{kcRg^so{s{{Ƅ΄{֌ތޔƜR!ΥZ֥Z֭ZޭZޭc޵ccckk޽kkks{΄ք֌֔֜ޜޥޭƽƵ絽ƽ.tRNSS%bKGDH cmPPJCmp0712Hs!IDATx^}y_XITqvLI3BNJkKF-.6IJ>B=@4@M #ǩo8qJ,o -qz}w~_9?>tyݲٹ³h]8$;`3BmR6.m4,&հ-w}֯'±x+*A>2?SdMO62(˛ʳڱD++շj0<!QޠH$G/9pŕy08ua4{m`i2(J˿h+1S]CmFK2^٠G5c媁zU}UJu|a:G_FОek5Rl5Ɖ/ԡDMP$bT,E.֫ۅb}9!t-5ɒ몹Pc1tDuZInZ4$ЁS7sF#Ŭ6R2&堶zdɦ,bP P?YM=&t5U# QhMN|1Q SgX}5+Y@n=aO# Hsl(H[ʥEuGA9"Qc|AO%ׅp\F5g`#4ntH@y:Δ 浈g\jL[}RK(刬nG2Uc[~^)USzo~48A4 "+Ӳ7RG@6*lv5YKM0~Z?Rz.BgVWQxD AUC v %8g m|:h\al*߀*3]EB'_Rs=!dvBm:B X6*/AQCga"߶4S1 ĬWI9'"}&KA+KmE64 dTc u6j Y,/ssaZ8vRz7:?oJ6cTu2s|;0rCsfgczvC 87K]qҭXo A=~f<]^<6?+觧gfN}O2cMaNĠ*Pj lȍB(Z s M;}pRLs R#!U:q7j9.Hβ ,kl\#҈)쁅4TS; ӡ[wiB9̊Geےó;AKsypb6ŌX5o u F!TB.aeٞ" ttTt{4v N?K>s@v5Q:{9j: 1ctBґOX1dc\@%֍{ uc#ڱ{yd{U3Bٗ3!Wj:U=Ib%]aO0;vpBfBZ.]hIo([br./H3BGMǪ:^aƮEԣTjV!P Oߌ+u(5c&""7E4A6vMZ *f4h&,%R.KVϩ|:t>VoXw&y:1~Y/]3XK9me2# ^Ԡe;;v^$㺫"nFu]QVQB QsEWOks`]GowL0)bZB:=CnJ1*pXbinw ԅ,Bp;ǧYp{W(9 bv좗Н'/=Xz᮱r~AMVnE<0NN1腙S `p;@O84MЌ%r* RˬWc&%SG ~t2,GR{&h!`RqfJkӠ_0-H6H:GW ^X`uz*1bDkgԞh7 8S!
