RE            : Imposing Extra Board Procedure
The union executives have been meeting with Scott Graham in an attempt to come to acceptable terms on changes in the Extra Board Procedures. We even requested that this MAJOR restructuring of Extra Board Procedure be postponed, to allow the Union and Omnitrans to go forward with solving what we see as major assaults on your work rules and assaults on your contract.
It should not come as a surprise, that Omnitrans, or maybe I should say Omnitrans Operations Department has decided to IMPOSE this new Extra Board Procedures.
The ARROW will be done away with, over the Union assertion that this is a change in work rules.
Part timers will be assigned work on the Extra Board, AHEAD of any Day Off Full Time member. This is a MAJOR BREACH and is a VIOLATION of the YOUR CONTRACT.
There are several other items we feel future Violate your Contract
It is the Union's position that the implementation of this NEW and Contentious Extra Board Procedure VIOLATES your contract, and will continue with the ongoing PERB proceedings.
Considering the number of MOU violations, The Union believes that this VIOLATION is ACTIONABLE by our membership.
Speak Up, let management know your opinion, and be at Transit Board meeting December 3, 2008 at 0800 to tell the TRANSIT BOARD, and contact the Transit Board members by phone and E-Mail
