A RESOLUTION OF THE MIAMI CITY COMMISSION DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER TO
REQUIRE "LABOR PEACE AGREEMENTS" AS A CONDITION PRECEDENT TO THE ISSUANCE
OR EXECUTION OF CERTAIN CONTRACTS DEPENDENT UPON REVENUES FROM
HOSPITALITY OPERATIONS.
WHEREAS, the City of Miami ("City") has a financial or proprietary interest in certain capital projects and in revenue
producing contracts which include hospitality operations at City -owned venues; and
WHEREAS, it is anticipated that the revenues generated by these operations will be used in part to defray the public costs
incurred in the construction and maintenance of such capital projects as well as to fund lease, rental or license payments to
the City, and the City has a responsibility to the taxpayers to protect these revenues; and
WHEREAS, the City acts as a market participant when entering into such contracts; and
WHEREAS, it is essential that these hospitality operations be conducted without interruption and that no labor disputes
affecting such operations impact the revenues of such capital projects and revenue producing contracts, which would in
turn adversely affect the revenue stream to the City; and
WHEREAS, the City has found that the uninterrupted operation of hospitality operations may be threatened by labor
disputes, and has found that an efficient way to avoid this problem is by requiring contractors and employers of employees
hired to staff hospitality operations to be signatory to a "labor peace agreement" covering the employees who will staff such
hospitality operations; and
WHEREAS, such labor peace agreements are a method of insuring continuous provision of services under City contracts
because under federal law, employers may not unilaterally prohibit unions or their employees from engaging in work
stoppages;
