Regarding Lt. D. Johnson's 12 hour day memo, a meeting has been set up with Labor Relations, our business agent and myself for this Monday, October 8th. We are not for it.
As you know, Inspector Cooper issued a memo on October 3rd, 2006 regarding the RNC stating , “vacation time and regular days off will be cancelled for all HCSO employees during August 28 - September 6, 2008.” We accept the fact that this comes during Prime Time Vacation, we also accept the fact that as essential employees we are called upon to work these hours. However, we should be compensated at time and one half for all hours worked past our regular 8.5 hour shift, whether as 12 hour shifts or on days off. It is unacceptable to ask us and our families to give up vacation time and days off during the summer only to work longer shifts for straight time. This schedule seems to be designed to deprive us of just compensation.
