October Updates

We lost our contract arbitration. Sadly, the county couldn't even give us some non-monetary language considering we took a wage and step freeze. Negotiations begin anew this summer.

The Department of Labor told me that the County has until November 15th to pay out the back pay on the overtime augments. After that the regional director will take action.

The grievance filed after the Sheriff's Office changed the seniority list was denied at step 2 and will be moved to step 3.

We are preparing the arbitration for the 1.5% inconvenient work schedule grievance.

The Horobin case is in court. This is the case where the HCSO released Garrity protected information.

We, (our BA and I) will address the County Board at the HCSO budget hearings on October 28th. We encourage you to attend. Location 24th floor Government Center. 1-4 PM.

Ballots are out for the Teamsters Local 320 elections. I encourage you to support the Members for a Better Union slate.
