OPEIU Local 6

News Flash

October 15, 2009

 

UPDATED INFO

 

The Union met with the Trial Court leadership and the Commissioner of Probation today to finalize details on the proposed eight-day furlough for probation department employees.

 

Letters and ballots will be sent on October 16, 2009 to every OPEIU Local 6 member who works for the Probation Department or the Office of the Commission of Probation asking them to vote whether the union members in probation should participate in the furlough. A furlough will save approximately 65 jobs that are slated for lay-off and we are urging members to support this proposal.

 

We thank everyone who has already called the Legislature asking them to fully fund the Commissioner’s budget. Your calls are having an impact. We urge you to continue calling, no matter what department or division of the Court you work in. Please continue to call the following:

 

Senate Ways & Means

 

Sen. Steven Panagiotakos            Chairman                 617-722-1630

 

House Ways & Means

 

Rep. Charles Murphy                    Chairman                 617-722-2990

 

Please post and circulate.
