VP-John Knobbe: “

VP- Molly Kennedy This month we had MSOP Joint Meet and Confer with Moose Lake Local 1092 on November 14th at the Council 5 Office. We spoke about SC/SCL’s not having access to client charts anymore. We explained that for security reasons we would need to see some of the information in the charts to take people out of the facility. Our position was we should have access to criminal history, perpetrators, triggers and history of elopement. We suggested as a group that, that information be put on Phoenix. Management said they would speak more with HIMS and see if we could do this. We will revisit this in January to see if there is movement on this. We also requested an extra vacation spot on all watches but senior management says that we don’t fill all the spots available now and that maybe after Shantz is opened we can revisit this. Please see www.union404.com for the full version of the meeting minutes.

Had a meeting with the Main Kitchen about scheduling intermittent employees. Won a grievance for overtime on a call in situation Matt Stenger: Met with CARE along with Chuck Carlson at the beginning of the month to address the issues of implementing metal detection and pat downs without proper training. They said they will be getting someone from MSH to come over and do the training with staff. CARE implemented 30 minute checks without upping the number of staff. This practice has been discontinued. In the future they will increase the staffing numbers if the need comes up again. Brought up the issue of a fence to go around the court yard. At this time they do not have the funding but are trying to get it approved. They have also stated that during the winter months staff can monitor clients having smoke breaks in the court yard through the window. One of the new stewards filed and presented their first grievance. Congragulations on the result.
