RE: "Freeze"Administrative Delays
Dear Board Members :
Many members of AFSCME Locals 512 and 2700 have been directed by their
departments to perform duties and responsibilities of a higher
classification without proper compensation. In some instances
reclassifications questionnaires have been submitted, desk's have been
audited, and the Personnel Department has confirmed the higher
classification. Yet due to the personnel freeze these employees _
cannot be upgraded or compensated.
In other cases employees and their departments have submitted the
required documents for upgrades and have had the County Administrator
not release them for processing, again because of the freeze.
AFSCME is concerned about this obvious violation of proper
compensation for classifications . Our members , your employees have a
basic right to be properly paid for the work they perform. . If you
can ' t pay them to do the work, then they should not be required to
work out of classification. The issue goes beyonajust picking up
the slack." Money is not the only issue, their is a principal to
uphold.
Once again it is women being denied promotions and upgrades . It is
again women being used. How much money is saved by this type of
discrimination, as compared to the loss of employee morale and
employee respect to the employer? Where is comparable worth? Where
is Equal Pay for Equal Work? Did you not state before that you
supported these principals? Are these issues still of importance to
you?
