SUBJECT: MIAMI BEACH EMPLOYEES' BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATlON/PERC'S
REVOCATION OF CERTIFICATION #388
Attached, for your Information and posting, is a copy of the verification of election results and revocation
by the State of Florida, Public Employees Relations Commission (PERC) of the Miami Beach Employees'
Benevolent Association's Certification.
.--
The Benevolent Association's negotiated labor agreement and the Special Master's Report and
Recommendations, which were adopted on February 16, 1994, by the Miami Beach City Commission, will
remain in effect and will be honored by the City until such time as a new labor agreement has been
negotiated between the City and Communication Workers of America (CWA) and approved by the City
Commission.
Effective as of March 11, 1994, the date of the City's receipt of the attached notice, the City Is no longer
authorized to deduct the Benevolent Association's membership dues from City employees. As such,
effective immediately, I have informed our Finance Department to discontinue a/l the payroll dues
deductions for those employees previously COVIII"ed by the Benevolent Association's labor agrfHNTIent.
P1f18se post this memo and its attachment, so as to inform the emp/oYflfls of the discontinuance of the
Benevolent's dues deductions.
Mr. Mielke's understanding, from a telephone conversation with Mr. Mike Grieco, CWA's Regional Director,
is that CWA's intention Is that no membership d/Jesdeductlons will commence until a new labor agreement
has been negotiated between the City of Miami Beach and the CWA bargaining unit. Once that Is
accomplished, then CWA will submit to the City the authorization cards for dues deductions for those
employees who desire to join the CWA's membership. We will keep you apprised as the negotiations
develop with this new union.
If you should have any questions, please call Dean R. Mielke, Assistant City MangerjLabor Relations, at
673-7010.
