7. Vice President Knobbe – Many meetings with Management about scheduling at MSH, and now have a meeting on Thursday with the scheduling office. We have pushed for relief from the mandates for overtime. The recommendation is for CERP covered staff in AFSCME who do not work residential be able to pick up OT shifts followed by CERP covered MAPE staff. This of course is after it has been offered to SC/SCL’s first. This would be to help with 1:1’s and constant observations. Contract vote will be August 9th at the Redman Club from 7am-5pm. In Solidarity, John Knobbe
