A DTB was filed 3/17/11 regarding management’s intent to eliminate or reduce their presence in the communities of Othello, Colfax, Stevenson and South Bend. I have received recommendations for team members from every area except Othello so a team has not yet been appointed. Meetings have not yet been scheduled on this issue. Community partners are taking action on their own in response to this proposal and a letter from the South Bend Mayor’s office was received in HQ.
A DTB was filed on 3/17/11 in response to management’s intent to relocate the King North CSO to the North Seattle Community College Campus effective 5/6/11. The team appointed to this is Justin Fellores, Greg Gunther and Herbie Martin. No meetings have occurred yet but scheduling is in process and the meeting is tentatively set for 4/28/11. The main issue per the CR is parking costs and free parking has already been arranged. Other issues such as safety committees, bulletin boards etc. will be addressed at the meeting.
A DTB was filed 2/9/11 regarding management’s intent to reconfigure EBT services. The team appointed to this DTB is Gayle Chamberlain-Smith, Daniel D’Haem and Rod Sauer. Jeanine is attending as well. The first meeting occurred on 3/31/11. This meeting was mainly an informational session at which we walked through their proposal and questioned each section. A follow up information request has been sent. It has also come to our attention that concerned community partners are now involved and lobbying/looking at potential actions they can take. A follow up meeting is in the process of being scheduled.
A DTB was filed 1/27/11 regarding management’s proposal to compress the work hours in CSD. The offices would close to clients at 3pm each day to allow all staff (CSC & CSD) to work batch and have daily protected time. This was actually based off of suggestions made repeatedly by the membership at other meetings. An informal meeting occurred on 2/15 and implementation will be moving forward. The team was Gayle Chamberlain-Smith, Daniel D’Haem, Karen Mork, Randall Kurtz and Judith McMahon. This was easily resolved through a teleconference/informational discussion.
A DTB was filed 1/7/11 not in response to a notice, but to a change in leave approval practices at the Mt. Vernon CSO. A lengthy information request was sent in order to prepare we’ve just finalized scheduling of this meeting for 4/19/11. The team appointed is Marci Douglas-Bumgarner, Diane Linnell-Merry and Terra Gilmore.
A DTB was filed 11/29/10 regarding management’s intent to adjust expectations for all of CSD. The final agreement was a reduction in nearly every area of the performance measures. I have sent a summary of this to reps with CSD. The team for this was Gayle Chamberlain-Smith, Rod Sauer, Randall Kurtz, Karen Mork and Daniel D’Haem.
A DTB was filed 11/5/10 at the direction of the C28GC regarding distribution of OT in CSD. A DTB meeting occurred on 2/14/11 and agreement was reached. The issue was the sharing of OT between Regions and Districts. Due to impending changes in the structure of Regions and Districts no longer existing, this is likely to come up again. The team was Lisa Luna, Debbie Seybold and Gayle Chamberlain-Smith.
A DTB was filed 10/19/10 regarding notification from the CSC that they will be moving toward connecting all of the call centers and going live with a statewide CSC. We have had four meetings with management and reached agreement at the final meeting on 2/16/11. The team was Gayle Chamberlain-Smith, Rod Sauer and Randall Kurtz. They worked hard gathering input from hundreds of their co-workers and developed two proposals to consider as alternatives. The final plan is a blend of the members’ and managements’ concepts.
A DTB was filed 9/7/10 regarding the CSC implementing a statewide tele-work project. This has been completed and is now closed.
A DTB was filed 4/27/10 on Disability Lifeline. Kurt and Jeanine were involved in this process and a settlement has just been finalized that will allow ongoing ad-hoc type meetings to address issues related to Disability Lifeline as they arise. Legislative session will likely change the outcome of this DTB so this is pretty much on hold pending that information.
The final SDR Ad-Hoc Meeting occurred on 12/17/10. There is an extensive amount of paperwork related to this Ad-Hoc group’s meetings throughout 2009-10. Please feel free to let me know if you have specific information you need for your area.
Note that the Regional Consolidation issues are being handled by a large group and the staff person assigned is Debby Lippincott. It is likely there will eventually be division specific discussions on this issue but we are not to that stage yet.
