Policy
10/02/26 - AFSCME Local 2650 I attached the policy that the employer wants to implement come 11/1/26. This is by far the most outrageous abuse of a policy I have ever seen.

We will be meeting about this next week, and will have a meeting to discuss it with unions . . .all of them. |

Update 10/1/2026
10/01/26 - AFSCME Local 2650 1. Grievances — Keep up with those grievances. I submitted 4 more to arbitration today. It is a long, slow process, but it is what we need to do. The employer wants to deny everything (when they respond) so that is the route we need to take. 2. FMLA on Mandating — That arb case has been settled, and you will need to certify the hours actually needed for mandating. |
