OLD BUSINESS

 

The Medical, Mail boat, Code Response (27.01), new IST training and Bad Faith grievances are still moving to arbitration.  The R&R grievance was partially granted.  The Night Lighting grievance will continue to the fourth level. No changes from last month.

 

 

NEW BUSINESS

 

There was considerable discussion concerning the amount of overtime, overtime holdovers and vacant positions at our institution.  Per Warden Prosper, we are the second most, staff vacancy rated institution statewide.  We have a holdover rate that is outrageous.  The big question is what can we do to stop or slow down the holdovers, and the answer is, we do not know.  We do not have a say in how Management operates our institution.  We can only agree to proposed remedies that do not violate our contract or do not bargain away our rights under the contract.  So far, management has not offered any remedy that abides by the contract; to alleviate any of the pressure we are under to keep the institution operating at the status quo.  Bottom line:  as long as the institution functions normally, management has no need to do anything to fix it.

 

The convention is in August and nominations for alternate delegates were accepted in case a Board Member is not able to attend.  The Nominees were; Wayne Baumiller, John Gerry and Mike Roseberry.  Ballots were passed to every member present and they were asked to vote for each nominee in order of preference.  The ballots were then collected and counted by Gary Palmer and John Royce.   The results are Wayne Baumiller – first alternate, Mike Roseberry – second alternate and John Gerry – third alternate.
