This Unit is the liaison between management and the Unions. The Employee Relations Unit is the Departmental negotiator for "meet and consult," and "meet and confer" issues with the various Unions, which cover more than 28 Memoranda of Understanding (“MOU’s”) and more than 300 classifications. The Unit provides centralized control for all Departmental grievances and most Settlement Agreements resulting from a grievance, non‑discipline appeals, and non‑discipline arbitrations.
