DeLong, City Manager City of San Mateo 330 West 20th Avenue San Mateo, California 94403 Re: Employment Requirements - ' Physical Standards, No-Smoking Clause Dear Mr. DeLong: The current application for Fire Fighter/Engineer requires the applicant, as a condition of employment, to sign a"contract to maintain prescribed physical standards on an annual test basis" and to agree to a no-smoking clause. Even though the aforementioned physical standards and refraining from . smoking may be desirable goals, the terms of our contract, as well as the appropriate state statutes require the employer to bargain on these issues. I find no documents which would indicate you have attempted to do so.. n I therefore urge that the City refrain from implementing the physical standards and no-smoking clause until such time as you have met your statu- tory obligation to meet and confer. Very truly yours, f . ~_ ---- ~ / ' LLO C. `i[DDL•:`DORF % L,ihor Relations Represcntative Paralegal LC.M/wwc Copy: Ron Munier, District Vice Presidelit, i. A. F.
