UNIT-BASED MEETINGS: To prepare for negotiations beginning in January, Local Officers will come to the unit to discuss your day-to-day issues, questions, or concerns.
VACATION CARRYOVER: As an update, HR's response to the Class Action Grievance filed, they have reinstated some employees’ time. For those individuals whose time was not restored, arbitration is pending. We encourage everyone to get all responses approved/denied in writing and attach them to this year’s Vacation Carryover Form.
MEDICAL OPT-OUT: Forms need to be submitted yearly, keep a copy for your records and check the contract to ensure the correct amount is being paid.
JNESO CONVENTION: April 18th-21st (Atlantic City)- If interested in attending, contact a Local Officer; put in a request time to your manager.
JNESO SCHOLARSHIPS DEADLINE: February 15, 2023
HOLIDAYS: 11:00 PM - 7:00 AM SHIFT will celebrate all holidays on the eve of the Holiday. Section 1b. In departments/units operating on a seven (7) day schedule, the holiday is observed on the actual holiday. In departments/units operating on a Monday-Friday schedule, the holiday is observed on either Monday or Friday.
DIRECT DEALING: is a situation where an authority figure deals directly with an individual concerning the terms and conditions of employment instead of dealing with the union representative.
Examples include terms that fall outside of the contract.
WAGES: (negotiating compensation to work double time, differentials, etc.)
HOURS: (schedule change, coming into work for 4hrs and being paid for 12hrs)
It’s a violation, and charges can be filed when an employer bypasses the union and deals directly with an employee on matters subject to negotiations.
It is extremely important to realize this will have a negative impact on negotiations as the contract is set to expire on AUGUST 14, 2023.
