- The FAB approved of the labor terms and conditions at its meetings over the past 2 weeks – June 28 and July 12.
- Work rule changes were approved by the FAB on June 28. Economics were approved on July 12.
- The labor terms (called the "City Employment Terms" or "CET") apply to most of the City's Unions, whose contracts expired on June 30, 2012.
- In accordance with the FSA, the Mayor submitted the CET satisfying Annex D to the FAB.
- The FAB reviewed the CET, made comments, and approved.
- The Mayor then submitted the CET to City Council.
- The City Council declined to approve of the CET.
- Therefore, under the FSA, the Administration is authorized to implement the CET.
