10:00 a.m.MANAGEMENT AGENDA ITEMS


1.Scheduling Staff for Meet and Confers

•Management stated that they will only be able to guarantee 1 union officer be released for monthly meet and confer. They will allow more people to attend as scheduling allows and does not create overtime. The union asked that .8 and coverage staff be scheduled for that one day per month and management stated that they will do their best. When the agenda is sent out Molly Kennedy will designate who the steward presenting a 3rd step grievance will be and the stewards will have to switch out if necessary.

•The union pointed out that contract allows up to 3 stewards to present a grievance and up to 7 representatives for local meet and confer meetings.

2.Update – 6-Month Bid Ban Starting Point

•Any issues involving uniforms should be brought to the uniform committee. They will meet quarterly if there are issues to discuss.

•Jaime Fromm will check with the vendor and get a date for when they expect to be up and running. She will also get information on expected delays- such as the fleece jackets. This information will be posted on the home page.

7.Parameters for Pumping

•People have been instructed to go into the office in Green Acres and lock the door in order to pump. Staff does not feel comfortable doing this because they would not be able to respond to an incident if necessary. Staff also feels uncomfortable having the patients know what they are doing. Management said they will provide relief up to 3 times per shift (2-15 minute breaks and 30 minute lunch break) to allow for this.

•Individual issues should be directed to Gary Grimm

8.Days Off on 1st Watch Between A Team and Control Center/Three Staff Having Wednesday/Thursday Off

•Management will be taking a look at how many people are scheduled off on Thursdays so that staffing is not low.

9.SNV Update – Staff Complaints Re Process

•There have been some complaints that the same people are always getting SNV. Management hopes that as staffing becomes more stable shift in progress will be less and SNV will be available more.
