RE:   H.B. No. 833

 

 

 

 

Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Labor & Public Employment, to which was referred H.B. No. 833 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING EMERGENCY APPROPRIATIONS FOR COLLECTIVE BARGAINING COST ITEMS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to make emergency appropriations to fund all collective bargaining cost items for fiscal biennium 2011-2013 in the arbitrated settlement for members of collective bargaining unit (10) and their excluded counterparts.

 

     Testimony in support of this measure was received from the United Public Workers.  Comments on the measure were received from the Department of Budget and Finance.

 

     Your Committee finds that interest arbitration proceedings were held in November 2012 and an arbitration award was received on January 10, 2013.  The award included no wage reductions for the entire contract period and a 3.2 per cent across-the-board increase beginning January 16, 2013.  This measure provides a necessary vehicle to fund the collective bargaining cost items in the arbitrated settlement.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Labor & Public Employment that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 833 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Labor & Public Employment,
