<p class=MsoNormal>Greetings All: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'>It’s bargaining time
again! It is our goal to keep you informed throughout the bargaining
process regarding the positions of the state and union for economic and
non-economic issues. To that end, we plan on sending regular updates
following bargaining sessions. Currently our distribution list includes
the SEIU represented agency HR Administrator or Manager. If you prefer
someone else in your Agency to be the recipient of confidential updates, please
let me know as soon as possible. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'>Additionally, we will assign a
bargaining team member as a liaison to your agency. You will receive
notification prior to January 10, 2011 of your Agency liaison. As you may
know, the size of the state’s bargaining team is limited. For those
of you whose agency does not have a bargaining team member, the assigned
liaison will be your point of contact for bargaining issues. The liaison
will communicate with you as needed to provide to you, or to request from you,
information to assist in bargaining. We thank you in advance for your
timely assistance. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Update #1<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'>The State and the SEIU met on
December 8, 2010 to begin bargaining for the 2011-2013 successor collective
bargaining agreement. While no substantive proposals were exchanged yet,
we did reach agreement on the ground rules for bargaining (attached). We
also agreed on future bargaining dates as noted below.<o:p></o:p></p>
