Officers Reports:
VP-John Knobbe: “In the last month we completed new steward training, met with MSOP, filed 3rd steps in forensics, met @ CARE in St. Peter, had the MSOP 1/4ly in St. Paul and met with forensics today. The mood isn’t good, but might be improving. Maybe because of the Governor’s race outcome. Thanks all who helped in the elections. Now if the recount gets done we can start at least having a chance to work within the contract.
In solidarity,
W. John Knobbe”
VP- Molly Kennedy: “In MSOP we just had a joint meet & Confer Nov. 8th in St. Paul. One of the things discussed was mutual to doubles which Dennis Benson presented on. We are going to get a group together to go over the agreement with corrections and fine tune it and then present it.
We also spoke about job postings on the MSOP homepage and they are going to link our site to the i-net so we are able to see everything available.
And the huge topic we got straightened out was the ability to mutual from 2nd or 3rd watch to first watch- if it doesn’t put you into a 16 hour shift this is acceptable. So you can mutual to an overnight shift if both people involved do not work a 16 hour shift. There were more items and please check www.union404.com for the meeting minutes.
I am currently working on the agenda for next month on Dec. 6th. Some of the items we are going to include are looking again at days off per week area, transports to pathfinders going down to 1 staff and how vacations are being granted. How many people are kept above known needs?
If you have any ideas for agenda items please e-mail me.
In Solidarity,
Molly Kennedy”
