Happy June all, hopefully this nice weather has been a welcome reprieve from all the rain and storms lately. Between annual leave and general life stuff it’s been a while since we have sent out an email so let’s get back into it.
Covid Updates
The mask MOU has been updated to allow for vaccinated people to go mask-less in the building. If you’re not vaccinated, you are required to still wear a mask. Lying or lack of candor is something the agency will definitely follow up on.
This coming Monday marks the end of Covid scheduling. Here’s what that means for us:
Return to pre-covid negotiated schedules/guide numbers
People back in the building
No more (Covid) EA
The OSHA committee is working on opening the gym fully
Building safety plan (closed off bathroom stalls, separated tables, etc) is still in effect
Election Committee Volunteer Request
Every other year our facility holds a local election and is an integral part of our organization. Our Election Committee is soliciting for volunteers to help with this year’s election. No experience necessary, it’s just a lot of little work that is made so much easier with lots of help. Nominations will be accepted between August 1-15 and elections will be completed by September 15th.
*If you have moved in the last 2-3 years, please let your area rep know so that we have your current mailing address. The Department of Labor stipulates that these elections be done via mail in ballot.
BWS/OT/CIC MOUs
We will be beginning negotiations for the 2022 MOUs shortly. If you have any suggestions or requests for changes, please let your rep know.
Building Water Shut Off
On Tuesday, June 8th at 6pm the entire building water will need to be shut off for many hours for maintenance/repairs and then to fully flush the system. Bottled water will be provided and portable toilets will be outside.
Have a great night!
