December Meeting with Chancellor & Crafts Dec 12 - HY 142
- 8:30 a.m.
WSEU would again like to invite Craft Union members to join us at
the beginning of the December meeting to hear the Chancellor speak.
Union Postings
The union posting process was discussed. It was suggested and
agreed upon that employees interested in postings will respond directly
to Kathy Mather, HR Manger for both mandatory and permissive transfers.
Blue Collar FP&M Shift Changes
The concern was raised about the potential of 3rd shift being eliminated
& heating issues for 1st shift arriving to cold buildings.
Greg explained that there is a state mandated effort to decrease
in energy consumption 20% by the 2010.
Positions currently on 3rd shift will not be eliminated, but are
being considered for assignment to another shift.
Some options being discussed are:
- Consolidating shift work to 2nd shift rather
than 3rd shift
- Timers on water fountains
- HVAC controls shutting down at 9:30-10:00 p.m.
& starting back up at 4:30 – 5:30 a.m.
- Consolidating night classes to fewer buildings
& fewer floors in building
Some advantages would be:
- Improving safety across campus
- Revenue from night differential would go
toward overtime opportunities
- More staff will be available for snow removal
& other projects across campus
Supervisors were advised to talk with their staff about changing
work shifts before taking a plan to administration.
This would allow time to make the transition and adjustments necessary
for cleaning
Event Scheduling/Staff Shortage/Supervision
Prior to each semester, Kathy sends the previous Custodial Campuswide
Events OT schedule to Gary Harms to request a new list of events.
There was some concern raised at the October LMC meeting that there may
have been some events that could have been included in the schedule.
Ron suggested that the events list may need to be restructured due
to events moving back into the union.
This would result in auxiliary custodial support for set-up for day
time events versus campuswide events.
It was suggested that NCAA could be contacted to provide support
for the playoff games including cleaning Williams Center due to the high
traffic in the center during the games.
It was agreed that the sub-committee for Custodial Campuswide Events
OT will meet again to re-address the events to be included.
Educational Opportunities
Ernie noted that the computer based training continues & supervisors
are being contacted to get people scheduled for training.

University Center
Facilities Maintenance Specialist vacancy is on hold.

LABOR MANAGEMENT
COUNCIL MEETING
SEPTEMBER 12, 2007
VISITOR CENTER CONFERENCE ROOM
Present: Frank Bartlett, Michael Bartos,
Jean Bromley, Theresa Gleesing, Julie Marino, Kathy Mather, Ross Sprague,
Ernest Stracener, Steve Summers, Greg Swanson, Susie Williams
Guests: Diana Miller, Jeff Schmidt
The meeting was called to order at 8:30 a.m. by Kathy Mather.
Introductions were made & guests welcomed.
Discussion/Approval of December 13, 2006 Minutes
December minutes were approved on a motion by Jean, seconded by
Julie.
Educational Opportunities
Ernie distributed a list of available computer based training courses
and explained that the core of all training will be computer based.
Supervisors may schedule training for employees by placing an appointment
on the Risk Management calendar through Outlook. Risk Management
has a lap top available to check out to use for training. The training
may be done at the Risk Management office. In doing so, staff would
be available to answer any questions that may come up during the training.
Frank noted that Res Life is planning Professional Development
Program (PDP) training for custodians. In January over winter
break, they will have a day-long training (work related in the morning
and a personal development type session in the afternoon). In the
Spring, they will be visiting 3 other schools on a Tuesday, Wednesday
& Thursday to observe how they operate & possibly learn some new
custodial techniques. When the training has been finalized, Frank
will send the info to other managers. All are welcome to join them.
Event Scheduling/Staff Shortage/Supervision
Jeff shared concerns regarding UC staff (custodians, FRW’s and
Maintenance Mechanics) being primarily responsible for set-ups.
Res Life and FP&M custodian staff have not been helping with this
recently. Kathy will check with Ron on the policy in place
for using the Custodial Overtime Seniority List.
It was also noted that the recent campus-wide event list does not
include all events for September. Kathy will contact the sub-group
that met earlier to determine what events should be included. The
list of events will be updated and sent to supervisors & employees.
Other Items
Jean announced that she will be stepping down as Union President
October 1, 2007. Ross Sprague will be Interim President.
Meeting adjourned at 9:00 a.m. on a motion by Jean, seconded by
