Is the city keeping up there end of the deal? NO MORE CONCESSIONS unless these 11 fellow employees are guaranteed employment! NO MORE CONCESSIONS because we have to re-open negotiations regarding medical in 6 months anyway...enough is enough right now!

]]> Comment on SCEA members approve more than $4.87M in concessions by Joe Rose, SCEA Attorney http://sceablog.org/scea-members-approve-more-than-487m-in-concessions/#comment-6 Joe Rose, SCEA Attorney Fri, 18 Jun 2010 19:07:27 +0000 http://opuscule.net/sceablog/?p=17#comment-6 The lesser number is the savings estimate for FY 2010-11. The greater number is the savings estimate over the multi-year term of the current Memorandum of Understanding. As a direct result of these concessions, 47 SCEA members were spared from layoff, including all civilian employees in the police department. The lesser number is the savings estimate for FY 2010-11.

If this is true, then the rest of the 3.59M is for not? We could have saved our cola and just done furloughs for the remainder of our contract to give them the 1.28M How many SCEA positions are saved/lost now Mr Rose?

Then I see that Fire is willing to defer their pay raise. What gives? At our last meeting, we were told deferring the cola wasnt an option, the city wouldnt accept any deferrment.

If given the opportunity, however, I would love having two days off in a row again by taking part in such a schedule.

I would like to see employees be able to negotiate a daily schedule within the 9/80 Plan. I agree that a January 2010 implementation date for the compulsory 9/80 Plan is much too soon. Would the City consider beginning with a voluntary implementation January 1st, moving to involuntary in six to nine months; which would give employees time to rearrange child care; commuting schedules;etc. I believe that, in the long run, the 9/80 Plan is a good thing for both the City and employees.
