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

15 | the Illinois Human
Rights Act, shall be made in any term or | ||||||
16 | aspect of employment
nor shall there be discrimination based | ||||||

20 | received in each fiscal year to equal at least 10% of the | ||||||
21 | aggregate costs of providing such ADA paratransit | ||||||
22 | services. For purposes of this Act, the percentages in this | ||||||
23 | subsection (b)(ii) shall be referred to as the "system | ||||||
