Local 1000 elevates PI ratio grievance to arbitration after CalHR rejection
Local 1000 is aggressively pushing a grievance over the ratio of
Permanent Intermittent (PI) employees at the Employment
Development Department (EDD) to arbitration after the California
Department of Human Resources (CalHR) recently rejected our
claim.
Our contract has long-standing language limiting the number of PI
employees to no more than 20 percent of the number of staff
positions in each of the EDD departments.
Earlier this year, Local 1000 filed a grievance at the department
level, which was rejected by EDD management because of an
“unfunded liability”–uncertainty whether a one-time federal
grant used to pay PI workers in 2014 would be available in
2015.
Local 1000 then elevated the grievance to CalHR, who, in denying
the grievance, adopted the same language as used by EDD in its
earlier rejection.
The process to bring the dispute to arbitration is already
underway. We will keep you informed as progress is made.
