Subject: PERSONNEL ISSUE
On Tuesday, July 11, 1995 Jim Hicks, Business Agent, AFSCME, appeared before the Board
of Supervisors in open forum and alleged that the Sheriff's Department had made a decision
affecting a clerical employee's schedule in conflict with the requirements of the Family Medical
Leave Act.
The Board had asked for a response and review by this Department. That report will be properly
submitted by the Employee Relations Officer and include the results of our discussions
surrounding this issue.
I find it troubling that Mr. Hicks chose to appear before the Board in an attempt to air a
grievance without first completing the process of meet and confer discussions since he had
already had a preliminary discussion on this matter with representatives of our Department and
that there was every intent for immediate future meetings because of the complexity of the
question.
As Sheriff, I am committed to ensuring that all employees enjoy the rights and privileges covered
under the various laws and Memorandums of Understanding and at the same time I am
committed to operating the Department based on good management principles.
Any questions on this issue are certainly open for discussion, but should be done within the
context of established procedures related to accepted labor management relations; particularly
grievance protocols.
