Upon a finding and declaration by the mayor and council that a strike, work stoppage or slowdown, or other form of concerted work interruption constitutes a peril to the public safety, health and welfare, any employee who participates in the organization, leadership or execution of any strike, work stoppage or slowdown, or other form of concerted work interruption shall be immediately terminated by his appointing officer.

An employee terminated under this section may, within ten (10) days of the effective date thereof, appeal in writing to the city manager for a review of his termination, which review shall be limited strictly to a factual inquiry as to whether the employee was or was not engaged in the activities covered by this section. If the manager determines that the employee was not so engaged, then the employee shall be immediately reinstated with back pay.
The provisions of chapter XXII, section 3(c) of this Charter shall be inapplicable to a termination under this section.
An employee who is terminated under this section shall be ineligible for reemployment in the city service for a period of five (5) years, except as otherwise provided in this section.
