[OPEUreppms] SEIU Article 10 - Union Rights

[HARRUP Lois M * HRSD LRU]

TO:  SEIU Represented Agencies HR Directors

 

This message is about a request received from SEIU related to Article 10
- Union Rights, Section 13.  The request is a continuation of an SEIU
interest in paperless communication where feasible.

 

In summary, Section 13 includes the provision for "Official Union
delegates and members of the SEIU Local 503, OPEU, Board of Directors"
to be granted use of appropriate employee accrued leave with pay or
leave without pay to attend the Union's biennial General Council."
Section 13 requires Union to notify each Agency requesting the release
of the affected employees at least thirty (30) days in advance of the
date of the General Council.  In emergency situations where the union is
unable to provide 30 days advance notice, delegates and board members
shall be granted the leave, unless the agency will suffer undue hardship
by granting the leave.

 

SEIU has asked whether the LRU would agree to change the contractual
practice by accepting, on behalf of the State, an electronic transmittal
of a single Excel list of all agencies' employees designated to attend
the General Council.  Your agency's designee would review the list and
notify the supervisor to release the employee pursuant to the CBA.  If
there are any changes to an agency's list, SEIU will send a correction
notice to the affected agency.  

 

In considering SEIU's request and to avoid e-mail transmission problems,
we would provide agencies the notice with a web page link to access the
list, rather than sending each agency the list via e-mail. 

 

If LRU were to agree to this change, let me know if you have concerns
about the electronic transmittal by Wednesday, February 10, 2010. 

 

Best regards,
