IUPA Contract

What would you like to see in a contract from IUPA. If you had a chance to start from scratch and write an entire new contract, what would you like to see in it?

In no particular order:

- Take home car policy detailed as equipment issue and thus not the whim of the sheriff.

- Double time during state of emergency (72 hours after crucial incident e.g. hurricane)

- Employees shall be given ten days notice of any change in their regular hours of work, work week, work period, etc unless an emergency necessitates.

- Movement towards the modern LE schedule (10's or 12's)

More to come.

Overtime for details. not detail rate.

Fair promotional test

Fair transfer in and out of specialized units

Take home policy in contract.

No more bouncing off of shifts as punishment

Another step. If not for pay then add more vacation time if there is no money.

Better training

As it stands right now just about all of the articles in the current contract are prefaced by “at the sheriffs discretion” or words to that effect. We first need to change that language.

There must be a mechanism in place to give deputies an opportunity to change districts. Like once every 5 years based on seniority and/or to coincide with academy graduation. Days off and shift picks base solely on seniority. If there is a problem employee the Sgt. Should take care of them on an individual basis, not make all pay for a few.

Promotions need to be based on the test, time on, sick time use, awards, and classes taken. Each thing should be assessed with a point system like the military does. Five year minimum and must have been a detective or FTD. So there can be no good old boy promotions.

We should have a corporal, and detective ranks. Minimum three years experience on the road with BSO. Corporals must be an FTD with a minimum of having trained at least six deputies. Detective becomes a permanent rank once you complete 1 year with qualifying evaluations. This would also cover job protection. (Can’t be removed without cause).

Cars will be issued based on mileage. (Some leeway can be given for real meritorious behavior)

Redundant and unnecessary paper work needs to be eliminated, ( ie: dailies, lost property reports) Our computer system needs to catch up with 2007.

Politics does not equal professionalism.

This is just a few ideas, lets all vote IUPA

Iwould like to see deputies having the option through bids to transfer to nort,south and central areas of the county to be closer to home. The sheriff complains we have no money for gas but how many people live in th enorth end and work south and live in the south end but work north. I know there is a policy already but lets use it and make it a contract issue.

No more free extraditions for the sheriffs office. Where is this a benefit for a deputy who does an exradition now? What happens if you are in another state and something happens? The contract says you are off duty. Well who pays if you are hurt, who suffers if something happens, can you face discipline or charges if something happens while you are "off duty" doing an extradition?

I would like to see the elimination of deputies being bounced off of their shift and go by senority

I would like to see the elimination of deputies being bounced off of their shift and go by senority

If we all worked 4-12 hours shift the senority issue will be a dead one.

VOTE FOR IT 4-12 hours shifts
