A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF DOWNEY SUPPORTING PROPOSITION A
WHICH WOULD PROHIBIT STRIKES OR CONCERTED
ACTION TO WITHHOLD SERVICES BY COUNTY
EMPLOYEES AND PROVIDES FOR THE DISCHARGE
FOR VIOLATION OF PROPOSED REGULATIONS.
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Downey has been
informed that Proposition A, a County Charter Amendment on the
November ballot, would prohibit County employees from striking,
require firing of strikers, prohibit amnesty, and remove the
incentive for strikes by prohibiting improved benefit offers
after a strike occurs; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Downey is aware
that a strike by County employees could result in life threatening
situations for children who are wards of the County, patients in
County hospitals, and those who need emergency paramedic, fire
and police services; and
WHEREAS, the Downey City Council has expressed their concern
on many occasions of the disruption of services vital to the public
interest when police, fire, health and general goverenmental em-
ployees walk off the job; and
WHEREAS, the Downey City Council believes Proposition A is
needed because current regulations are inadequate to prohibit strikes
by County employees.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE DOWNEY CITY COUNCIL
that it strongly supports Proposition A which will prohibit strikes
or concerted action to withhold services by County employees and
discharge said employees for violation of proposed regulations.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 28th day of September , 1982.
