1 AN ACT concerning transportation, amending named Acts.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 3. The Metropolitan Transit Authority Act is
5 amended by changing Section 28 as follows:
6 (70 ILCS 3605/28) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 328)
7 Sec. 28. The Board shall classify all the offices,
8 positions and grades of regular and exempt employment
9 required, excepting that of the Chairman of the Board, the
10 Executive Director, Secretary, Treasurer, General Counsel,
11 and Chief Engineer, with reference to the duties, job title,
12 job schedule number, and the compensation fixed therefor, and
13 adopt rules governing appointments to any of such offices or
14 positions on the basis of merit and efficiency. The job title
15 shall be generally descriptive of the duties performed in
16 that job, and the job schedule number shall be used to
17 identify a job title and to further classify positions within
18 a job title. No discrimination shall be made in any
19 appointment or promotion to any office, position, or grade of
20 regular employment because of race, creed, color, sex,
21 national origin, physical or mental handicap unrelated to
22 ability, or political or religious affiliations. No officer
23 or employee in regular employment shall be discharged or
24 demoted except for cause which is detrimental to the service.
25 Any officer or employee in regular employment who is
26 discharged or demoted may file a complaint in writing with
27 the Board within ten days after notice of his or her
28 discharge or demotion. If an employee is a member of a labor
29 organization the complaint may be filed by such organization
30 for and in behalf of such employee. The Board shall grant a
31 hearing on such complaint within thirty (30) days after it is
SB285 Enrolled -2- LRB9001460NTsb
1 filed. The time and place of the hearing shall be fixed by
2 the Board and due notice thereof given to the complainant,
3 the labor organization by or through which the complaint was
4 filed and the Executive Director. The hearing shall be
5 conducted by the Board, or any member thereof or any
6 officers' committee or employees' committee appointed by the
7 Board. The complainant may be represented by counsel. If
8 the Board finds, or approves a finding of the member or
9 committee appointed by the Board, that the complainant has
10 been unjustly discharged or demoted, he or she shall be
11 restored to his or her office or position with back pay. The
12 decision of the Board shall be final and not subject to
13 review. The Board may designate such offices, positions, and
14 grades of employment as exempt as it deems necessary for the
15 efficient operation of the business of the Authority. The
16 total number of employees occupying exempt offices,
17 positions, or grades of employment may not exceed 3% of the
18 total employment of the Authority. All exempt offices,
19 positions, and grades of employment shall be at will. No
20 discrimination shall be made in any appointment or promotion
21 to any office, position, or grade of exempt employment
22 because of race, creed, color, sex, national origin, physical
23 or mental handicap unrelated to ability, or religious or
24 political affiliation. The Board may abolish any vacant or
25 occupied office or position. Additionally, the Board may
26 reduce the force of employees for lack of work or lack of
27 funds as determined by the Board. When the number of
28 positions or employees holding positions of regular
29 employment within a particular job title and job schedule
30 number are reduced, those employees with the least company
31 seniority in that job title and job schedule number shall be
32 first released from regular employment service. For a period
33 of one year, an employee released from service shall be
34 eligible for reinstatement to the job title and job schedule
SB285 Enrolled -3- LRB9001460NTsb
1 number from which he or she was released, in order of company
2 seniority, if additional force of employees is required.
3 "Company seniority" as used in this Section means the overall
4 employment service credited to an employee by the Authority
5 since the employee's most recent date of hire irrespective of
6 job titles held. If 2 or more employees have the same
7 company seniority date, time in the affected job title and
8 job schedule number shall be used to break the company
9 seniority tie. For purposes of this Section, company
10 seniority shall be considered a working condition. When
11 employees are represented by a labor organization that has a
12 labor agreement with the Authority, the wages, hours, and
13 working conditions (including, but not limited to, seniority
14 rights) shall be governed by the terms of the agreement.
15 Exempt employment shall not include any employees who are
16 represented by a labor organization that has a labor
17 agreement with the Authority.
