REMINDER… REMOVAL OF DISCIPLINE


One of the brand new additions to our current CBA, that I insisted on and debated long and hard for, along with the other eboard members, was Article 28-A, Section 8.
This section states that an officer may request to have a level 1 or 2 discipline removed from their personal file after 18 months. A request must be submitted to HR to do so.
The first expungment can take place on May 20, 2015.
So this is just a reminder, you may start taking advantage of this article on MAY 20, 2015
THAT’S ONLY 1 WEEK AFTER ELECTION NIGHT.
And here’s another reminder, don’t forget, on MAY 13 vote for the candidate that will serve you best and remember, the candidates elected will be negotiating your next contract in May 2016.

IT'S BAAAACK!


Well after careful consideration, a need to get messages and information out to the membership quickly and efficiently, not to mention being bored out of my mind while I’m recovering from surgery, I decided to restart the blog.
The rumors and gossip that fly around from team to team about what I said, what I agreed to, what I did, or what I want to do, along with company rumors which are just as wrong most times, also had something to do with it.
What you will read on this blog will be coming directly from me and no one else. It will be my words. It will be confirmed with at least 2 eboard members before it is posted for your reading pleasure. Oh and one other thing, as always, it will be the honest brutal truth from me to you.
Moving forward, I will try to give information that is straight forward and easily read so it is interpreted the way I intend it to be interpreted. Many times in the past, when information was passed along verbally it is misconstrued, misunderstood, or misspoken most times by accident. Now, in most cases, that information can be found here. That being said, due to SGI and the blog being open for anybody to read, I will sometimes not be as explicit as I'd like to be when putting out information. However, the message will still be very clear to the membership. As always, after each posting the membership is invited to respond to my personal email at mrcomedy1@aol.com.
