Side Letter Enforcement
4:26 PM - September 5, 2012
Are student assistants or non-mission critical annuitants still
performing the work of Local 1000 members in your office?
As of Sept. 1, non-represented student assistant and non-mission
critical retired annuitant positions should no longer be
performing the work of Local 1000 members. In order to ensure
accountability and to help save the state more money, please
alert Local 1000 to any instances where student assistant
positions remain or retired annuitant positions are performing
work that should be done by our represented employees. You can do
so by visiting seiu1000.me/PvmXQy and filling out a
short form.
The Local 1000 member-elected bargaining team fought for this
clause while negotiating the side letter agreement in June, which
protects job security and returns bargaining unit specific work
to our members. Along with the elimination and reduction of these
positions, provisions are in place so that none will be hired
until July 1, 2013, unless they fall within certain
guidelines.
