City leaders will soon hear from an area union that would like the city to make changes to its local resolution governing employee unions.

As part of its study session Tuesday, the Lawrence City Commission will receive a report from Teamsters Local 696 regarding Resolution No. 6817, which the commission can amend at its discretion. Representatives of the union say there is a group of city employees interested in unionizing, but that resolution limits employees’ ability to do so.
