Starting back up soon?

We just got word the other day that the Labor Board will be aiming for July 15th to begin hearing cases virtually. We have five pending cases right now, some of the more intensive ones like the Sergeant's test will probably be more difficult for us to effectively present remotely but the other side will have all the same challenges we do. This isn't our optimal solution as we'd much prefer in person hearings, but we're being told those may not begin until the fall, so this is our best chance to get things rolling again in a reasonable time frame. We don't have any dates yet, and I'm sure there are a lot of people waiting in line, but we'll update those involved once we know.

Our usual meeting spot is opening back up, but I assume they want to keep the capacity down for now so we're going to hold off until September to start having regular meetings again. If there's anything going on that needs our attention please reach out to anyone on the executive board.

More Delays

We just got word today that the Labor Board is cancelling hearings scheduled for July and is now scheduling into August. This means our hearing for the Sergeant's test grievance that was scheduled for July 2nd will be postponed to a later date.

Additionally we haven't heard anything about rescheduling the Personnel Appeals Board hearings yet so we don't have a timetable for that resuming yet.
