Since our last meeting, there have been numerous issues that have come before the union. Unfortunately, most have been discipline. We currently have numerous grievances that have slowly made their way through the process. It appears management’s idea of discipline hasn’t changed. Within the last month we have had 1 member demoted, 3 terminated, 4 Predetermination Hearings held, 8 grievances filed, 10 grievances moved forward, 3 grievances being prepared and numerous meetings trying to resolve prior to becoming a grievance.
As a reminder, the following is a list of Representatives:
Battalion 1 – Doug Cooper 28-B
Battalion 2 – John Parkhurst 58-B
Battalion 3 – Scott Dunn 57-A
Battalion 4 – Dan Horan 52-B
Battalion 5 – Mike Creel 66-A
Battalion 6 – Anthony LaPorto 65-B
Safety Representative – Scott Egan 30-B
Day/ HQ Representative – Maryanne Knuckles
Communications Representative – Kim Horan
Minority/Special Representative – Nicole Stratman
All the Battalion Representatives have been busy working grievances within their battalion but don't forget to contact them with any questions. If they aren't available because they're on vacation, for example, contact one of the other reps. Please remember to contact your representative if you are involved in any investigation, fact finding, questioning or other opportunities that have the possibility of having discipline given. You must make the request for union representation prior to the meeting.
Watch over each other and concern yourself more with what to do instead of what not to do. |
