12-2824.Employment classification and regulation.
The board shall classify all the offices, positions and grades of
regular employment required, excepting that of the chairman of the board,
the general manager, secretary, treasurer, general attorney, and chief
engineer, with reference to the duties thereof and the compensation fixed
therefor, and adopt rules governing appointments to any of such offices or
positions on the basis of merit and efficiency. No discrimination shall be
made in any appointment or promotion because of race, creed, color or
political or religious affiliations. No officer or employee shall be
discharged or demoted except for cause which is detrimental to the service.
Any officer or employee who is discharged or demoted may file a complaint
in writing with the board within ten days after notice of his or her
discharge or demotion. If an employee is a member of a labor organization
the complaint may be filed by such organization for and in behalf of such
employee. The board shall grant a hearing on such complaint within thirty
(30) days after it is filed. The time and place of the hearing shall be
fixed by the board and due notice thereof given to the complainant, the
labor organization by or through which the complaint was filed and the
general manager. The hearing shall be conducted by the board, or any member
thereof or any officers' committee or employees' committee appointed by the
board. The complainant may be represented by counsel.
If the board finds, or approves a finding of the member or committee
appointed by the board, that the complainant has been unjustly discharged
or demoted, the complainant shall be restored to his or her office or
position with back pay. The decision of the board shall be final and not
subject to review. The board may abolish any office or reduce the force of
employees for lack of work or lack of funds, but in so doing the officer or
employee with the shortest service record in the class and grade to which
he or she belongs shall be first released from service and shall be
reinstated in order of seniority when additional force of employees is
required. Seniority shall be considered a working condition and where
employees are represented by a labor organization which has any labor
agreement with the authority such working conditions shall be governed by
the terms of such agreement.
