(A) In order for the city to discharge its obligations to provide municipal functions and protect the health, welfare and safety of its citizens, it is essential that city services continue at all times without disruption. Acceptance of public employment carries with it an obligation and responsibility to act affirmatively at all times to assure the continuation and promotion of the public’s health, safety and welfare.
(B) Accordingly, all employees and employee representatives organizations are hereby prohibited from engaging in strikes, work stoppages, slowdowns, wildcat strikes or mass absenteeism. Any person, who violates this prohibition, shall be subject to any of the following without limitations: reprimand, suspension or discharge of an employee. Where collective bargaining agreement exists, the above provision is applicable.
