The 28 day/8 hour schedule is coming. The Sheriff's Office has said it will be implemented May 24, 2009. This is management's right under Article 10, Section 3 of our Agreement. This move has many implications on other parts of our Agreement and we will keep you posted.
The Union discussed the possibility of 10 hour shifts or 12 hour shifts on a 28 day schedule but management, "will not entertain other options" for us or any other bargaining unit at this time.
It was expressed unanimously by our business agent and all stewards that our members were not in favor of this change but it is their right and they are determined to go ahead with it.
"There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three things we

always attained by giving them to someone else."
Who ever drafted this schedule will possess none! Kharma baby!!!
