James Ward Second Vice President
E-mail: Sqd6143@aol.com


     At our September Open Meeting, we had almost half of our active membership present to hear Commissioner Mulvey speak on all the budget cuts and personnel moves that he has made.  The majority of the members I spoke with were extremely disappointed in his explanation.  Everyone on the job knows the County is in financial trouble.  The whole country is in trouble.  However, the Commissioner has decided that the S.O.A. should be the union that suffers pain. 

      The S.O.A. is the only union that “fly’s”; he has decided to violate our “minimum manning” when overtime is required; he put detective supervisors on patrol; he has eliminated stand-by for many of our supervisors, yet he still expects them to answer their phone; he has circumvented our contract to save a few bucks by sending police officers to supervisor school and then promoting them only weeks after their completion; he has almost eliminated supervision in our Emergency Services Bureau by having the E.S.U. supervisors work as full time highway supervisors; he has removed the C.O. of the Firearm’s Training Unit from the Deadly Force Response Team; he has refused to fill administrative positions in Records Bureau resulting in almost no supervision of many of our vital records and the list goes on and on……

      WHY US ???  That’s what we want to know.  I think the Commissioner owes it to all the supervisors to let us know why he has targeted the S.O.A.  I urge him to answer us whether it’s in writing or by attending our Board of Governors meeting or coming back to an Open Meeting.  There are 2750 sworn members of this Department.  He cannot balance the budget on the backs of 422 supervisors.

 

Re-Opener

     The results of our re-opener will be released at the same time our arbitration award comes out.  It is unknown if Mr. Scheinman will issue a separate award or include it in our contract arbitration award.  The issues we addressed in the re-opener were stipends for various units placed into their base salary, increase in meal money for extraditions and the county support for disciplinary arbitration legislation.

 

Minimum Manning Grievance

     An arbitrator will be selected shortly.  In the interim award, Mr. Scheinman directed that this grievance be heard prior to the end of the year.   Hopefully, this deadline will be met.

 

Arbitration

     Prohibited from speaking about as per New York State Taylor Law.

 

Stand-by, part two

     The details of this grievance were submitted to Mr. Scheinman.  We are hoping that he rules that the county must go forward with this grievance.  He is not the arbitrator in this grievance.  We are asking him to direct the county to go forward with this grievance.  It was filed almost two years ago and needs to be heard.

 

     Stay safe out there.
