the contract vote!!!

Warning make sure you read the discipline part of the contract. Now a letter of councseling can be used against you in possible future discipline. Letter of councseling are still not grievable and it still has no time frame to be in your file. This should be a major reason you should vote no on the contract.

This was the original language :
Letters of counseling are not disciplinary action and not grievable; documentation or discipline less severe than an oral reprimand shall not be used against any employee in any fashion.

The new language :

Letters of counseling or counseling notices are documentation of minor work deficiencies or conduct concerns that are not discipline and are not grievable; however such documentation may be used by the parties at an administrative hearing involving an employee’s discipline to demonstrate the employee was on notice of the performance deficiencies or conduct concerns.

Why did we give this up? Vote no on the new contract!
