Your Expert Opinion on Union Memo to Employees (Employment & Labor Law)

Fri, 29 May 2009 22:20:00 GMT

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
I work for a county in California, in the Child Protective Services Division. We are part of a union. The union and the county keep us well posted on budget and our job status (lay offs, etc). So far, so good. Our department is, thus far, secure. No one is getting a pink slip in the near future as it stands. The union did, however, distribute the following (I will retype what the memo said). Also, let me note, that negotiations between the union and the county resulted in our department receiving a COLA raise of almost 3% this July. Hard to believe when other departments (mental health, probation) are being brutally hit by reductions. Here's what the memo to our department said (we received it today):

    What is your general take on something like this. I'm not dismissing it, but I'm very cautious too. I don't see anything about how it affects benefits, etc. I have so many questions, but i want to hear professional opinion on this first.

    I'm not a pro but I like to think I am somewhat educated to the point of understanding what you seek.
    as to how it affects benefits;
    that would depend on your contract concerning part time employees. The part time employee would be entitled to whatever benefits are afforded a part time employer per the contract. In other words, if a PT employee is not eligible for any bene's, they do not get them. This appears to be a complete and formal reclassification from a full time employee to a part time employee.
