Week 1, 28 Day Debacle

The first week of the 28 day schedule is behind us. So far it's been a total debacle. Unlike what was said at the Labor Management Meet and Confers and said at the jail squad meetings, that our shift was to start and end in the locker room, management instead demanded that we be dressed before and after shift on our own time. Conveniently those who could do something took vacation!

In the meantime, overtime put in before shift for dressing and even overtime put in for time after shift waiting to be relieved was deleted!

I filed a formal complaint with the County and hopefully we can resolve this next week.

Keep following orders and putting in for overtime. Keep filing grievances.

Also this next week our business agent and I will be filing a grievance to restore the 1.5% inconvenient work schedule pay we gave up in 2002 for the Holiday arrangement that is now nullified by the 28 day 8 hour schedule.

SOLIDARITY
