who uh
the miseducation of the black man, but you have black faces
in high places, but the miseducation of a black man, they
they uh, uh would kill him. He has to play dumb. They
didn't want him to read and to write and to think the
analytical thinkers, but they wanted to use his labor his
physical labor.
But the black man is great. It's mine is great. He's the
first man on planet Earth. So the human resource.
The Workforce Development who's going to be that new
Workforce?
With black up here Advocate millions and millions of
dollars going to the new Workforce.
When the old Workforce labor is no cotton up here. You
can't pick it you can't pull it and you can't chop it but
it's pure Plantation politics.
Black Faces in high places selling black people out
What 2 and all the others?
It's something evil here. Yo 3 minutes is up Mr. Blakemore
seemed like to me all time is up in this city of Chicago.
We've been gentrified out.
out of the workforce
a new work force now, uh, they say Jackson Jackson State
the white man came for a thrill and and the black man came
without a wheel forced him.
And in called out of state they closed up all the schools
where schools because they they not teaching vocational
courses.
If it was wonderful Google him in I'm here to educate my
people and you white folks. Thank you Mr. Blake for your
time has expired next up for public comment is Taiwan Sims.
Taiwan
about to call that
historical
I want too much pass what I expected.
um
Once again, I'm here to speak about.
The charge um with the EEOC 440202209007.
Now the investigator is Seth Brown.
Previous investigator was Brandy craft.
but
let's say to the effect that Mr. Blakemore is quite
correct.
There's a new Workforce being touted here in the city of
Chicago.
And black Americans are being gentrified out of that
basically forced out.
By Petty what case is if you have a petty case I have a
case.
Mr. Mina, but I'm unable to obtain
Employment because of this misdemeanor and each time a
background check come back. It'll say oh because of this
misdemeanor. It's a misdemeanor.
I'm not a lazy man.
These are work IDs from previous events in my life where I
go to work clean.
ready willing
You know all the things that they say we're not.
um do the job above the job because hey, you know, I'm
representing me and my people
so I come in I come through the door, but
to no effect
But now I walk into a restaurant where they are no black
employees.
I walk into Mickey D's but we are Americans black
Americans. We are American.
the American
and yet I see no black American employees and I asked and
then I'm God we call they call the police on you then.
So yep to the effect, um, Mr. Blakemore, he's correct. We
are being gentrified and to wait a murder a people.
Economically is by not investing in them.
So if we have no employment then we have no economics. We
have no.
Capital we got nothing.
And we pushed out and so I'm I'm personally I'm personally
I'm 43 years old. I'm I I gotta say I'm at least sharp
enough to be able to spot a pattern in my life.
And when it's happening and how it's happening who pushing
it forward, so yep.
Spot on Mr. Blake Moore
and if we don't have anybody to stand up for us I Alex I
all who have all the automatic power with the change this.
Then we screw.
Don't bow your head now.
Don't bow your head. That's because you in that chat. Don't
mean you you ultimately all the way handicapped because you
can push that pin and you can push your initiative and your
agenda.
All of you all have been and so my people the black
Americans are set backwards still being set backwards.

Before moving to questions. I'd like to give Lori dipman

Um chairman Rodriguez Vice chair Gutierrez and members of
the committee and Workforce Development. Thank you for this
opportunity to appear before you today to discuss my
appointment by Mayor Johnson as member and chair of the
city's Human Resources board. I would also like to thank
commissioner rpha for taking time to speak on my behalf. I
would like to start by briefly introducing myself to you.
I've been a homeowner in the 46th Ward for the past 25
years and I'm a constituent of Alder Angela clay. I greatly
appreciate and enjoy the diversity of the Uptown community.
Prior to joining the city in 1993. I worked extensively.
excuse me toward the rights civil rights of the lgbtq
community as the chief strategist for the passage of both
the Chicago human rights ordinance in 1988 in the Chicago
hate crimes ordinance in 1989.
While at the City Treasurer's Office, I drafted and worked
toward a passage of an ordinance that required the city's
Municipal Municipal, excuse me Municipal depositories to
comply with the Chicago human rights ordinance in their
policies and practices. I joined the mayor's office for
people with disabilities in 2000 as senior policy analysts
the vert the first such position at mopd serving under all
4 commissioners.
Under the past 2 Commissioners. I've had extensive
experience in human resource and Personnel matters such as
employment policies procedures and administration. I have
drafted interview questions participated in interviews and
consensus meetings. I've also strategized with commissioner
rpha on the types of positions that could reshape mopd to
better serve the needs of the disability community.
While these responsibilities may not specifically appear on
my resume. They were quite extensive under all duties
assigned.
1 initiative that I'm particularly proud of was the result
of working with my colleague Christina McLean
to develop mopeds first employee handbook that outlined the
Department's Personnel policies regulations benefits and
resources. This has been an important source of information
for both new and current employees alike.
At moped I've learned a lot about human resources and
employment issues impacting people with disabilities the
community that is often disadvantaged when seeking
employment for these reasons. I am very committed to
insurance that the city's policies strongly reflect our
core values in our administered with fairness Equity
accessibility and transparency.
Also during my tenure at mopd. I served as acting
commissioner from february 2020 to July 20 20 2020 as you
may recall. This was the during the early days of coid
during that time. I was responsible for closing MD's
establishing new work protocols in accordance with HR
policies and Co regulations that ensured compliance with
the ever evolving Health regulations in the continued
productivity of moped staff.
And November 1st 2023. I retired from the city of Chicago
after 30 years becoming a member of the chair of the human
relations board will afford me the opportunity to continue
serving the city. I love
I am committed to the goals and objectives of the board and
ensuring our work reflects. The city's values. I have held
deeply those values in my work on behalf of many
communities throughout my career and will continue to do so
for the human resources committee.
I am grateful to Mayor Johnson for this appointment and for
this opportunity. I look forward to working with the
committee on Workforce Development commissioner Blakemore
and her team and Dominique and Abby. I sincerely ask for
your favorable consideration, and I'm happy to answer any
questions you have. Well, thank you so very much and I'll
take the prerogative as chair of the committee, uh to speak

Thank you so much for giving up yourself your time your
treasure your talents. I'm sure is all going towards this
and uh, we really really appreciate your service. I'm I'm
very very interested and excited about the experience that
you've had particularly working with mopd, uh and the
office
Of peoples with disabilities. Um, I think the population
that's really underserved in our city of Chicago. And uh,
you being in that space along with our great commissioner,
uh is a step in the right direction, I think for our great
City. So any other questions from the committee,
Seeing none Vice chair Gutierrez moves due pass, uh on item
20248 2024 0955 one. Um, all those in favor. Please respond
by saying I
Any opposed in the opinion of the chair the eyes have it?
Congratulations? Uh, Abby Dominique and Lori
and joining, uh, the human relations board, uh,
notwithstanding the opposition. Uh, I will be reporting out
items 2 3 and 4 of the agenda at the next city council
meeting on Wednesday, June 12th. Thank you so very much 1
more round of applause for you. Thank you.
Okay.
Uh couple more items.
Up. Next we have a direct introduction of an ordinance
authorizing the execution of a collective bargaining
agreement between the Illinois Council police and the City
of Chicago today. We have with us Chief labor negotiator.
This is Lee Porter to explain the new bar, uh collective
bargaining agreement and answer all of the questions. We
may have uh, we also have brigitt Earley.
the premiere for labor and Matthew jakubowski, uh
If there are questions for them as well, although Bridget
made an early Escape know she she's out. Okay, uh, we have
Matthew here, right? Um, I also want to recognize
non-committee member Mana hoppenworth for Quorum. Um,
Sicily you have the floor to give a brief summary of the
collective bargaining agreement. Thank you and good
afternoon chairman Rodriguez and members of the committee.
Again. My name is cesy Porter Adams, and I'm the city's
Chief labor negotiator. Um, we thank you today for the
opportunity to discuss the proposed collective bargaining
agreement between the city of Chicago and the, Illinois
Council of police.
The Illinois Council of police often referred to as I cop
represents approximately 9 Aviation surveillance
Specialists, all of whom are employed in the department of
Aviation.
Aviation surveillance Specialists are generally responsible
for our monitoring both airports for security issues at CDA
security operations center. They are not responsible for
law enforcement but they work as crime analysts in conduct
internal investigations, uh with outside agencies for the
airport and they also monitor the thousands of cameras at
both airports. This is their first collective bargaining
agreement with the city and um, and for the employees
represented by IOP the labor board recently certified these
employees in february of 2022.
And we believe that the agreement is the best deal possible
for those employees for the city of Chicago and for the
union, um, based on the terms. We are going to discuss
briefly. The term of the agreement is similar to the term
for all of our other civilian collective bargaining
agreements July 1 2022 through June 30th, 2027 to be
ratified by city. Um Council that's when it will become
effective the bargaining unit. I cuff they have already
ratified the agreement.
The wage increases are virtually identical for the wage
increases extended to our civilian Workforce and they are
as follows effective 1 125 They will receive a 3 a range
between 3 and 5% depending on the CPI you in the same will
be true for uh, 1 12026 1 120 27. They were received a
3.25% increase.
Um, you will note for the first, uh years of the CBA 2022
2023 and 2024. This group will not receive a negotiated
wage increase and the reason for that is during those same
years 2223 and 24. They received wage increases as
non-represented employees at 3% per year. So they are
they're not going to get retroactive pay but they were paid
3% each year, which is what our civilian represented
employees received going forward as mentioned starting in
2025. They will be on the same negotiated wage increase as
I described. Um, some of the other terms and compensation
again, you've probably heard these before because it's
familiar to what we did with our civilian unions, but they
will receive a lump sum, uh pandemic pay bonus and the
amount
Of $3,000. It would be broken up over 2 years 1030 days
after ratification and then another 2,000 January 1 of
2025. Uh, we will do contributions to Deferred Comp as we
did with our other civilian employees. We will contribute
the city cents for each dollar each employee contributes
for a maximum of 750 a year in 2024. And in 20127, we'll do
the same thing. But we will contribute a dollar 75 for each
dollar they contribute. Um, we adjusted their salary
schedule, um to help with recruiting and retention and 1 of
the big things for this Union is that we moved them. They
wanted to be moved to a 37 and a half hour work week. Um,
they were originally on 35 hour work week. And that's the 1
1 1 for the city. We they get to work more hours for us and
increases their pay a half an hour a day.
The same benefits are other unions received. They receive
such as paid parental leave extension of the June 10th
holiday a vacation carryover and other miscellaneous terms
such as changing their pay dates and um developing
developing a plan to move them to direct deposit and green
slips. Um, we thank you for the opportunity to discuss this
and if you have any questions, we will be happy to answer
them. Wonderful. Thank you Cecilia any questions from
committee members or non-committee member
Seeing none. Can I get a motion to approve item 5 on the
agenda? I believe uh all their uh, Chico get them in the
game.
All those in favor of aldermen Chico's motion to approve
item 5 signify by saying I any oppose in the opinion of the
chair the eyes have its our report item 5 out at the next
city council meeting up. Next we have uh, the last item a
direct introduction an ordinance authorizing the execution
of a collective bargaining agreement between the
International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 700 and the
City of Chicago. Once again, we have Chief labor
negotiator, Sicily Porter here to answer questions
regarding the contract.
Um, Matthew jakubowski as well here.
Just in case there's extensive questioning from the
audience or forgive me from the committee. Uh
Madam Porter go right ahead. Okay. Thank you still see
Leslie Porter atoms with the record and we're going to be
talking about the proposed collective bargaining agreement
between the city and the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters Local 700 this group of teams Thursday represent
approximately 26 supervisors of police communication
operators, which is why the unit is often referred to as
Teamster's spos. All of them are employed in the office of
emergency management and communication and they are
primarily responsible for supervising the police
communication operators 1 and 2 who also work at oemc, um,
for the reasons we set forth below this agreement
represents. Um the best deal for these employees.
Employees and for the city the term of the agreement is the
same July 1 2022 through June 30th 2027. The bargaining
unit has ratified it. So the next stage in the process will
be for city council to do. So, um, the wages are identical
to our other civilians. They have um effective 712022 They
will receive a 3% and they will also receive a 3% increase
on 12023 for the years 2425 and 26 in January. They will
receive a range between 3 and 5% depending on the CPU and
the last year of the contract 11127 They will receive a
3.25% increase.
Their compensation in terms are very similar to what I just
previously described for IOP. Um, they're going to receive
a lump sum payment and 3 thou 3 thousand dollars broken up
over 2 years for the co bonus we're going to do the same
thing with this group for the deferred comp compensation
matching a $150 for each dollar. They put in effective
11124 and then 1127 that will increase to 1.75. Um, we
for this group what what they would probably tell is a
highlight is that they are placed on a salary schedule
before all these employees receive the same amount of
money. No matter what their seniority was. Um, but we have
agreed to put them on a salary schedule based on the years
of seniority. Some people will make more so that was
something they were very excited about and we were happy to
do that as well. Um, the other benefits, uh paid parental
leave Juneteenth of carryover vacation. These are all the
same that we um gave the civilian other civilian unions and
if we're happy to again answer any questions you may have
about this bargaining unit.
Thank you very much. Any questions from the committee
Alderman? Tell your fur?
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Now you mentioned earlier
something about a CO payout on what was that again? Sure,
so they are going to see if a a signing bonus a coid, uh
payment that we extended to our all of our other civilian
bargaining units and it's a total of $3,000. This group
will receive $1,000 effective 1 124, which is going to be
retroactive and they will receive 2 $2,000 effective 1 125.
Okay, and for employees that have retired
Um prior to the effective date of this contract. Will they
still be eligible for that? Yes, they will be those who
retired who's not eligible or new hires. So the goal of
that was to capture those who were actually working through
coid. So there was a the cut off date was as of 712022. So,
um, it is based on those who were working during that time.
So some people who were retired will get that. Um, but
those who were higher there after 1, so they they'll be
eligible for retroactive pay and retroactive coid pay. Yes
for the same with all your unions. Yes. Okay. Thank you.
Any other questions, I I just had that question. Sorry, uh
was brought to my office about a month ago. Okay regarding
another Union that was in collective bargaining agreement
