LOCAL 330 PRESIDENT TESTIFIES
Judiciary Local 330 President Lawrence Germano testified in front of the Unified court systems pandemic practices working group during last weeks session. You can view his testimony on the CSEA Local 1000 Facebook page here https://www.facebook.com/csealocal1000/posts/391626003006800 or on the CSEA YouTube link here https://youtu.be/ArENNW1HcRA A PDF version of his statement is also attached.
CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS
The CSEA Contract Negotiations Team met again this week with representatives from OCA’s negotiating team. While the session was constructive there is still much work left to do and we have set dates to meet in July, August and September. CSEA continues to seek a longer-term agreement with increased benefits for its members. Please remember that it would be unduly detrimental to the bargaining process, to set forth the specifics of any proposals. Rest assured that the CSEA Team will continue to pursue an agreement that will address concerns and issues raised by the membership.
Thank you for your patience and continued support!
