Negotiations between AFSCME Local 1907 and the City of Miami focus on tool allowances for specific trade classifications.

A quarterly tool allowance of $100 will be provided to Automotive Mechanics, Heavy Equipment Mechanics, Welders, and Auto Body Workers/Painters.
Payments are made within the first 15 days following each quarter.

Stolen tools may be replaced if there is a police report and an itemized list of stolen items.

Minimum Tool Requirements

The Department Director retains the authority to create a minimum tool list required for hire within various traded classifications.
Employees have a reasonable timeframe to obtain the necessary tools; failure to meet the requirements results in the loss of the tool allowance.
Loaning tools is prohibited to fulfill the inventory requirements.

Minimum tool lists will be provided for various classifications including, but not limited to:
- Automobile Mechanics
- Heavy Equipment Mechanics
- Welders
- Electricians

Tool Inventory Submission

Affected employees must submit an inventory of personal tools to their supervisor.
The inventory must include the make and model of each tool, verified by the immediate supervisor.
Employees must keep a copy of their inventory, which will also be filed with the Department Director or designee.
Inventory lists should be periodically updated and must be submitted within 60 days following the ratification of the agreement.

Replacement of Tools

The City is responsible for replacing broken, stolen, or worn-out tools listed in the inventory, but this does not apply to those receiving the quarterly tool allowance.
