Unit 14 Alert: Bargaining Update - May 18

3:00 PM - May 18, 2013
Unit 14 signed a tentative agreement with the state today that fulfills a key bargaining priority by mandating that overtime be assigned by seniority within a classification.

The new language is designed to prevent management from playing favorites when it comes to overtime assignments by assigning overtime to lower paid employees in lower classifications.

Unit 14 Alert: Bargaining Update - May 16

4:50 PM - May 15, 2013

Today, our team went to the table for the second time this week to negotiate with state representatives over our unit specific issues.  The governor's Budget May Revise was released on Tuesday, May 14, which made it clear that our contract fight will remain an uphill battle. It is crucial that we stand together for a fair and secure contract. Worksite actions are happening up and down California to show state representatives that our members support their bargaining team.

 

We are also encouraging all of our members to RSVP for the June 5 "I'm All In!" rally at the Capitol - an action that will tell everyone that we are all in for Local 1000, all in for a fair contract and all in for quality public services for Californians.

The Unit 14 bargaining team - representing Printing Trade Workers - signed two tentative agreements today.

Unit 14 Alert: Bargaining Update - May 14

3:46 PM - May 14, 2013

Today, Local 1000 returned to the negotiating table to meet with representatives from the state and continue bargaining for our new contract. The state spent the last two weeks reviewing the proposals we gave them in April - 31 Master Table proposals affecting all Local 1000-represented employees and 50 different proposals affecting our nine individual bargaining units.

During that same time, the bargaining team took this opportunity to host seven town hall and 158 worksite meetings up and down the state. They updated members and encouraged them to become active because each member is critical to a successful contract fight. Before and after each town hall meeting, bargaining team members spoke one-on-one with attendees, connecting with them on a more personal level to hear their comments and answer their questions.

Bargaining updates brought to the worksite!

11:04 AM - April 25, 2013
Between April 29 and May 10, more than 100 Bargaining Update Meetings are scheduled at worksites all over California to inform members about our bargaining progress. Our bargaining team members are working hard to build upon our previously hard-fought contract wins by strengthening employee rights and benefits, providing additional compensation and improving our medical coverage.

At these meetings, you will receive information regarding what we have presented to the state, any resulting developments, and you will have the opportunity to ask questions. You'll also have an opportunity to become part of a Contract Action Team (CAT) to deliver news about bargaining and contract actions to your coworkers. Our contract starts and ends with you! Be sure you're there every step of the way!

Local 1000 signs first tentative agreement impacting all employees

7:50 PM - April 24, 2013
Local 1000's bargaining team signed the first tentative agreement of our new contract at the master table today, one that provides a huge advance in our fight against outsourcing.

The agreement makes permanent the Budget Solutions Task Force that was established by the June 2012 Side Letter Agreement. The ongoing work of the task force is to achieve real savings by reviewing and analyzing private vendor contracts. It also reduces the use of outsourced work that can be done more efficiently and at less expense by state employees.

Our bargaining team presented a new proposal today that would limit the state's ability to use retired annuitants and student assistants - another provision of the side letter agreement to be made a permanent article in our contract.

Today's negotiations also included further discussion of our proposal to improve the business and travel expense article. Local 1000 members provided expert testimony about out-of-date and insufficient reimbursement and per diem rates.

Local 1000 returns to the bargaining table tomorrow and again on Friday.

Unit 14 Alert: Bargaining Update - April 17

1:56 PM - April 17, 2013

Dear Unit 14 employee:

 

This morning our bargaining team met with the state to present proposals, which pertain specifically to our unit. These proposals seek to protect our existing contract language and improve our unit specific interests.

 

Here are the highlights of the proposals presented today:

 

 

  • Ensures that the state will meet with the union within 30 days of contract ratification to determine if changes to the Graphic Designer Series are needed.
  • Strengthens language pertaining to shift changes by confirming that the state shall provide a 30 calendar day notice to the employee.
  • Allows the Department of General Services, Office of State Publishing (OSP) and Local 1000 to continue the Joint Labor/Management Committee to discuss issues of concern to Unit 14 employees at OSP.
  • Strengthens the language regarding Light/Limited Duty Assignments by eliminating the 60-day time constraints.
  • Allows for an additional 10 minute break, instead of 5minutes, per continuous hour of work performed on a computer.
 
In Solidarity,
 
Robert Vega
Unit 14 Bargaining Vice-Chair

Local 1000's bargaining team - more than 200 member-elected representatives - worked through the weekend to review the results of bargaining surveys and develop conceptual proposals that will drive our upcoming contract negotiations with the state, which are slated to begin April 10.

Protecting retirement security, preserving medical benefits, an end to furloughs and a wage increase were among the key priorities expressed by members. Our Bargaining Unit Negotiation Committee (BUNC) further parsed survey results - including member comments - to develop proposals specific to each of our nine bargaining units.

SBAC and Bargaining Unit Update

12:51 PM - October 10, 2012

SBAC_LOGO_web.pngHundreds of bargaining unit member leaders recently met on October 6-7 in San Diego to discuss critical campaigns for Local 1000. Representatives came from all areas of California to discuss the importance of the November election and make over 3,400 calls to urge a NO vote on Proposition 32.  
 
We heard from speakers from our coalition partners such as the League of Women Voters and the Center on Policy Initiatives regarding the importance of partnering to defeat anti worker propositions and campaigns.  
 
We discussed the implementation of our side letter agreement and were given an in-depth review of common violations since July 2012.
 
In addition, with contract bargaining approaching, member leaders discussed best practices for prioritizing diverse and critical issues. Preparation for bargaining will take center stage at our next Statewide Bargaining Advisory Committee meeting in January 2013. Please click here for the full bargaining unit report.
