PUBLIC WORKS UNION - The President explained that there were some inaccuracies in a newspaper article regarding the disposition of the union contract with the Public Works Union. Given that there were some inaccuracies in that newspaper article which the President attributed to the Public Works Union Attorney, a joint press release was developed, which has been signed by the Attorney for the Public Works Union. That joint press release is available for distribution to the Press and/or anyone interested. The thrust of the issue was that there was one issue that was open. It was an economic issue that was open. That was the sole and exclusive item that was being worked on between the Union and the Village . The Attorney for the Public Works Union basically represented to the media that the Village changed its stance on the economic issue and that was not true, it was a misrepresentation by that Attorney. The joint press release clarifies that was an error in his statement . (Copy of Press Release attached. ) 1 02-11-97 5 .

Gallitano Village President 6 02-11-97 JOINT PRESS RELEASE Because there has been some misinformation which has appearq�cs in certain recent newspaper articles and in order to provide more accurate information to the public, the Village of Elk Grove Village and the International Union of operating Engineers, Local 150, jointly issue this press release concerning the status of contract negotiations between the Village and Local 150. We are pleased to report that the negotiators for the Village and Local 150 have reached a tentative agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement. This tentative agreement was unanimously ratified by Union members and will be considered by the Village's Board of Trustees on Tuesday night, February 11. Upon approval of the Village, a new three-year contract will be signed. There has been some misunderstanding concerning the events leading up to this tentative agreement. The salient facts are as follows: 1. The parties had been involved in approximately nineteen (19) months of negotiations and had reached tentative agreement on virtually all outstanding issues. 2. Because the parties did hit a snag on at least one remaining issue, the Union exercised its right to engage in picketing activity and the Union tendered to the Village an official strike notice as provided by Illinois law. 3. Upon receipt of the strike notice, the Village set about the task of preparing to provide public services during any possible strike, including contacting subcontractors, alternative suppliers and arranging for newspaper ads relating to the possible hiring of replacement workers. 4. Shortly before the effective date of the Union's strike notice, representatives of the Union and of the Village had occasion briefly to discuss the issues separating the parties. This discussion proved to be quite helpful. 5. As a result of the discussion mentioned above, and with the assistance of Federal Mediator, Linda Myers, the Union tendered a new contract proposal to the Village. 6. After careful study, the Village's negotiating team found the Union's new proposal to be acceptable and so notified the Union. 2 7. On Monday, February 3, 1997, the negotiating teams for both sides met to formalize their tentative agreements, review all tentative contract language, and to tentatively agree on all aspects of a new collective bargaining agreement. The negotiating teams for the Village and the Union believe that the agreement is fair to Village employees and taxpayers, alike. Finally, it is the sincere hope and belief of both sides that their contractual differences will be put behind them and that the Village, its employees and the Union will continue to work together in a cooperative fashion to provide the citizens and taxpayers of the Village of Elk Grove Village with the best possible public services.
