Study Notes
Strike Definition and Prohibition
- "Strike" encompasses multiple forms of work stoppage including: failure to report for duty, absence from positions, work stoppages, concerted resignations, and partial performance of job duties.
- Actions such as picketing or demonstrating to support a work stoppage are also classified as strikes, applicable during or after a collective bargaining agreement.
Responsibilities of the F.O.P. and Members
- The Fraternal Order of Police (F.O.P.) and its representatives are explicitly prohibited from instigating or condoning any type of strike or work disruption, including sympathy strikes and slowdowns.
- Bargaining unit members are expected to maintain operational compliance and take action during any unauthorized disruptions, emphasizing their special trust and responsibility.
Compliance and Encouragement to Return to Work
- F.O.P. officers and representatives must actively ensure compliance with strike laws and Article provisions, encouraging members to return to work if violations occur.
- Responsibilities include a public disavowal of any strike actions initiated by others.
Consequences of Violating Strike Provisions
- Violations of the no-strike provisions can lead to dismissal or other disciplinary actions from the City.
- Any disciplinary actions taken by the City regarding strike violations are non-grievable, meaning they cannot be contested through the established grievance procedure.
