6. Discussion and Background
In 1972 the City first adopted an Employer-Employee Relations Resolution (EERR) to establish policies and procedures for compliance with the Meyers-Brown-Milias Act (MMBA), the collective bargaining law for local government. Since then, the MMBA and the City’s recognized bargaining groups and job classifications have changed.
In compliance with the MMBA, the proposed EERR updates orderly procedures for the administration of employer-employee relations, clarifying the rights and obligations of employees, recognized employee organizations, and City management. The proposed EERR reflects current legal terminology, processes, and formats the document consistent with the changes in the Government Code. The City of Orange has satisfied the meet and consult requirement with all recognized bargaining groups pursuant to the MMBA.
