From lois.m.harrup at state.or.us Thu Mar 4 07:08:07 2010 From: lois.m.harrup at state.or.us (HARRUP Lois M * HRSD LRU) Date: Thu, 4 Mar 2010 07:08:07 -0800 Subject: [OPEUreppms] SEIU Article 10 - Union Rights Message-ID: <8A8CF693A3BB294DB354A999D49CF81808238CDD@exchnode01.ad.state.or.us> The following message was sent to you to request whether you oppose to receiving SEIU notice of affected employees' names designated to attend the General Council by email. LRU did not receive any objections to receiving the notice electronically. Therefore, Eva will notify SEIU of our acceptance of the electronic transmittal and will initiate action to provide the necessary link to agencies to access the excel spreadsheet of employees delegates. The list may contain employees identified as primary and alternates. You will receive further instructions from SEIU if your specific agency delegates change. Please notify the affected managers in your agency about the request to release the designated employee(s) (Article 10, Section 13). I anticipate receiving the first request in March or early April. Thank you for your assistance in this regard.

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.
