What's at Stake
' A Compilation of Take-Ativays
CLERK BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
1. No COLA No&X Equity No Longevity Pa I No Hazar CnNTRA COSTA CO.
The County refuses to entertain any Union or Coalition proposal that is not "revenue neutral".
2. 10% Pax Reduction through Mandatory Time Off(MTO)
The County proposes that we go 19.5 days without pay between now and July, 1994. No
workload adjustments and the County gets to pick the days. No guarantees that the money will
remain in the Department to save any of our jobs.
• 3,., Elimipation of§W Increases
The County proposes to remove step increase language from the contract. In other words, you
would remain at whatever step you were hired or to which you were promoted. No more yearly
increases, regardless of performance.
4. Employees to Pick Ug 1_04°10 of Health Plan Increases
The County threatens to have the employees pick up the entire cost of any health plan increases
unless the scope of benefits are reduced. They have already done this for the Retirees.
6. Removal d&11 Workload CADS
The Union has been able to obtain some caseload limits through the Work Group reports. The
County refuses to extend these limits. The result will almost certainly be significant caseload
increases. The County has submitted a specific proposal that would allow them to increase the IM
Intake application�count for any reason.
6. Unrestricted ReassiEnmgnt
The County proposes that they be able to reassign someone without regard to seniority or the bid
process, on the motion of the supervisor, for personal or physical reasons.
7. Eliminate Union Reps
The County proposes to reduce the,size of the Representation Committee, the group responsible
for negotiations, committee representation such as the Workload Committee, and most
grievances, from five to three people. They also propose to eliminate Shop Stewards from all
offices that have less than 100 members and eliminate the second Shop Steward from those
offices with more than 100 members.
