A district court judge granted a temporary injunction Oct. 12 blocking a move by the City of Minneapolis to shift the work of the city's electrical inspectors unit to the state of Minnesota and eliminate the unit.
The city took action to eliminate the unit when its 10 electrical inspectors, who are represented by International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 292, would not agree to a new contract in line with the city's January 2003 two percent cap on wage increases. Local 292 maintained that the wage cap was a violation of collective bargaining rights.

Collective bargaining was still underway when the City Council voted 8-4 on Sept. 22 to repeal the ordinance allowing the city to do its own electrical inspections and thus shift the work to state inspectors. Mayor R.T. Rybak signed the repeal.
Inspectors for the state began taking over new city inspections Oct. 3. Local 292 was outraged. The union went to court, arguing that the city had committed unfair labor practices by refusing to negotiate the two percent cap and then by acting to shut down the unit.

The court supported Local 292's position, issuing a restraining order to stop the city "from unilaterally implementing changes" in Local 292 members' "terms and conditions of employment" and ordering the city to "immediately commence bargaining in good faith."
"We're happy," said Local 292 business manager Steve Claypatch. "We got everything we wanted."
Ill feelings may remain. The names of City Council members who voted for the controversial measure in committee have been removed from IBEW Local 292's list of endorsed candidates.
"Outsourcing or union-busting: what else are they doing?" charged Van Welke, Local 292 business representative.

"What management has done to us ? it just isn't right," said Larry Clark, a 21-year electrical inspector for the city and the unit's steward.
Clark said doing away with the unit would not save the city money and that the state inspectors would not provide the same level of service that the city's inspectors provide.

He also said doing away with the unit would be a blow to diversity in the city's workforce. "We're the most diverse unit they have in the inspections department ? 40 percent of us are black and female."
"I want justice," Clark said.
