February Executive Board Meeting

1. The board supported sending board members to the Union Leadership Academy May 30-31st and also applicable members to the Financial standards workshop June 28th.

2. The board discussed the added members meeting and poor turnout. The board decided to re-evaluate the need next month.

3. The board discussed three main proposals on mandation policy and supported a policy that will reset after a total of 15 or 50% (whichever is less) of members on a shift have been mandated. The 15 or 50% will be the least senior employees available for mandation on a particular shift.

An employee is not available if they are on a leave of absence, light duty, on their regular days off, or have been mandated within the last 30 days. In the event an employee is not available the mandation goes to the next least senior employee and so on up the mandation list until the rule of 15 or 50%. The one exception is if all available staff have been mandated in the last 30 days, then the 30 day exemption from being not available does not apply.

I know it is as clear as mud now. Talk to your steward or eboard member for help. If you are mandated and think you have been mandated out of turn, I would advise you to accept the mandate and get a steward working on your grievance.

4. The board also discussed Fair Share employees, Vacation scheduling, the Health and Safety Committee, Labor Management, the supplemental, and addition of this blog.
