| NEW BUSINESS: After the last negotiation meeting there was a road block in getting the disciplinary language we wanted; the current language and process was reviewed. Language has been presented modifying Article 19 aligning closer to a just cause process. The new language would allow a reasonable amount of time for problems to be corrected. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Also included in the modification is language against disciplinary action taken if a member within a department decides to run against an elected official-this is not a reason for discipline. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Membership FYI: If anyone is having a problem with their supervisor and the supervisor requests a meeting, don't hesitate to let the supervisor know that you want a union rep with you for the meeting. If a rep is not allowed, make sure the executive board is notified; other tactics that would be appropriate would be to ask for time to think about the discussion in that meeting and have an opportunity to respond in writing. There is also the possibility that once a rep is requested the meeting may not be held. Additional information will be available at the Steward Training. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
