NO WAY!!!

JUST SAY NO!!! TO THIS OFFER

At the end of January you will be voting on the future four years.
The Corrections bargaining team recommends you vote no to the
initial and only offer from the employer at the corrections table.

Why, you may ask?

Please follow the list:
● This isn't negotiated, it is the employers' offer.
● Bailiffs, Rec. staff and Industrial Officers were left out, again.
● We don't get anything unless we agree to the sick time plan.
● If we fail to meet averages set by the employer we go to their plan.
● You start with a one time bank of 60 hours, not 60 hours per year.
● You accrue five hours a month if perfect attendance is reached.
● You can carry over 144 hours but you can't reach that in the first year.
● You can only cash out at 50% what is over 144 hours.
● Short-term disability then goes to a private carrier, on their timeliness.
● You submit information to a private, for-profit company. Will they pay?
● If the parties don't submit paperwork on time, do you get paid on time?
● If you don't have credits, you don't get paid!!
● If the carrier denies your claim you have to repay the employer.
● You may have to pay premiums to enjoy?? this benefit.

If you are unclassified, or enjoy the overtime opportunities, or like
the healthy environment you are already in what happens next?

Hours dwindle for schedules, OT dries up, and members who
should be home recuperating end up coming to work.
Staff who have the flu or a cold come to work and “presenteeism”
rates, staff sick at work, cause you to be sick and use credits.

And don't be impressed by the promise of 250 rollovers.
The MERC negotiated more than that in the last few years.
Why settle on such a small number like that?

VOTE NO!!! to receive better!!!

In solidarity, Emidio.
