APEA - State of Alaska
Supervisory Union
May 29, 2003
Present: Cris Tigner (DOC), Jeff Roach(DOT&PF), Scott Leigh (DOT&PF)
Christine Vaughan (F&G), Brendan Scanlon (F&G), Deb Jeppsen (F&G), Tim
Viavant (F&G - alternate negotiator) and Bob Watts (APEA.)
Cris Tigner called the meeting to order at the F&G Large Conference Room at
12:00 noon.
There was a general discussion of this year's contract negotiations with Tim
Viavant, alternate negotiator for Northern Region. APEA (and other state
unions) signed one-year rollover contracts effective July 1, 2003.
Minor contract changes included:
- An increase of Health Insurance contribution by the
state to $705.00.
- Flexible Time Plan change in length of time available to use accrued leave. It now is available to the employee until April 1st of the following calendar year.
- Leave cannot be unreasonably denied - referring to use of IFT or FTP hours at some departments.
Art Chance with Dept of Administration - Labor Relations - has issued a directive that all agreements/Memorandums of Agreement/ Letters of Agreement are to go to him for his approval first. This took effect a few weeks a go.
There will be a meeting in Anchorage for negotiators of different unions on 7/29 - 7/31/03. We discussed issues that could be
developed for negotiations:
- Layoff article - the current language should be reviewed
and analyzed; especially with the present economic realities.
- Merit Step Increases - Resolve
discrepancies between SU and GGU MSI increases. For example, an 18E in GGU gets more pay than an 18E in SU. In SU, a 16N is $2441 and in GGU an 16M is $2466.
- OT Eligibility - some SU employees work a lot of overtime for no compensation, is this fair?
- Possibility of pooling all the state employees into one trust for the purpose of bringing Health Insurance costs down by increasing the size of the pool.
- Geographic differential - is it really fair?
How do we get more members involved and informed?
Motion to adjourn at 1:05PM and seconded.
Respectfully submitted,
Christine Vaughan
Next meeting - June 25, 2003 was canceled.
