Executive Board to Meet with Fire Chief Over Staffing & Overtime Issues

November 21, 2008 - Recent concerns with staffing issues and subsequent overtime associated with the now, ongoing EMT class provided by the Norman Fire Department was addressed in a planned meeting with the Fire Chief and Executive Board on Thursday, November 20, 2008 at 9:00 a.m. In addition, the Executive Board continued in a follow-up meeting immediately after that consultation.

UPDATE: The membership was assured every measure would viewed in addressing the staffing of Engine #7, whether through call-out measures pulling Engine #7 from the ongoing EMT class, or via "overtime" assigning such to fill the gap left by members attending the class throughout the day in which said overtime would need to be utilized. In short, Engine #7 would be "staffed" at all times; whether at the MNT Center or in the Station with overtime callback during those scheduled 8-hour class times; as would be the case in all circumstances associated with Station #7.

Executive Board Meeting - July, 2005

July 14, 2005 - An Executive Board Meeting was held today at 3:30 p.m. following the conclusion of today's Negotiating session. The meeting began with congratulations to our two newest Executive Board members, Kurt Holley and Leon Ragland.

The first item discussed was the approval of a bonus for the Secretary/Treasurer of $1200. All were in favor of this item. The topic of Negotiations at an earlier meeting today was also discussed.

Today's PERB Board hearing was the next item of conversation. The PERB board held that the CON's "motion for summary judgment" was denied. This means that the IAFF WILL have it's day in court with the PERB that will allow the Union to display it's facts and allow the PERB Board to make a judgment on is finding that the "discussions held by the CON and Fire Administration to union members outside the scope of official Union representation" is unlawful. We are awaiting a date for the actual hearing soon.

Next was the discussion of current and ongoing grievances. The grievance drawing the most attention was one most associated with today's PERB Board hearing in which a decision was made to confront the issue of shutting down "Truck 2" by allowing the Union President the window to file a request for Arbitration on this issue.

Other items on the agenda were the upcoming IAFF Leadership Training Seminar to be held in Mashantucket, CT next week, July 19-24, 2005. Attendees from our Local will be Butch Crawford and Mike Seiter; our website winning the 2005 Media Awards Contest for Best Affiliate Website by the IAFF; the status of the Local Political Action Committee; City Council changes; and the request to submit as an agenda item at the next Union meeting a request to maintain the current promotional board members for the next Drivers Test as was used this last time.

Executive Board Meeting - May, 2005

May 25, 2005 - This Executive Board Meeting was, for the most part, a refresher in keeping members of the Executive Board up to date on various issues within the Union; primarily all grievances outstanding. This meeting was also the first of potentially many PAC (Political Action Committee) meetings to which this particular E-Board will help organize and direct. Any and all members of IAFF Local 2067 will continue to be encouraged to participate and learn more about future involvement in this exciting committee.

There was but one decision made at tonight's meeting which involved the cost(s) associated with the upcoming OSFA Convention to be held in Oklahoma City in June. It was decided that the Union itself would help support the members elected to attend with some funding to offset any expenses paid "out of pocket" for food, hotel, gas, etc. This is a limited amount of money and would associated with the cost of a one-night stay at the hotel if needed. In return, the attendees are requested to attend & participate in the post-convention meeting and sign the completed OSFA Convention Report to receive the funds.

Executive Board Meeting - January, 2005

January 19, 2005 - The E-Board met today to discuss several issues as outlined below:

1. The CON "requiring" all municipal employees to sign a waver giving the CON the right to withhold the previously agreed upon and contractual agreement of the $25.00 employee portion of Health Insurance Premiums. In addition, the CON has determined that "failure to do so" would disqualify the employee from inclusion in the CON's Health Insurance Group. Hence, leaving any employee that does not sign this paper, and their dependants, without health insurance. (Keep in mind that all of this could be worked out prior to next week. There was a possible solution to this situation that first reared up during a multi-union consultation on this issue alone a few days ago. However, the CON has not given the bargaining groups time to review the possible solution and has decided to move onto a more objectionable procedure.)
   
   IMPORTANT: While this $25.00 is the same as that which was voted upon when the last fiscal year contract was ratified, the need to sign any such paper allowing the CON give further, or additional rights and inclusions, beyond that which was previously agreed upon, is unwarranted and unneeded. The further adding of insult to injury in that which causes a Fire Fighter and/or his family to loose benefits simply because he did not, could not, or otherwise would not sign a release form tied to a non-bargained restriction, is nothing less than ILLEGAL and bordering on ignorant. However...it is important that we understand (and because the CON feels the need to walk a line of impropriety doesn't mean we should...) that any such signing of the "required" paperwork can be fixed later in arbitration/court via our grievance procedure. Furthermore, it is advised that you sign the "non-opt out" item of choice, retaining your health insurance in tact, but do so "UNDER PROTEST". Sign the paper, and remark on your sheet that you are doing so, "UNDER PROTEST". This issue will be fixed later.
2. Current Grievances were also discussed.
3. An upcoming PERB Hearing scheduled for Thursday, April 14, 2005 at 9:30 a.m. in the Conference Room at the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, 2800 N. Lincoln Blvd. in Oklahoma City. This hearing surrounds the UFLP (Unfair Labor Practice) surrounding the shutting down of Truck-2 & Lack of Manpower issues.
4. Discussed also was the latest Consultation Session with the Fire Chief and the outcome, and/or 'lack of outcome', of these meetings.
5. Discussed was the current discussions held at the City Employee's Health Insurance Committee meetings.
6. Discussed was the possibilities in the use of the PFFO monies that the IAFF 2067 is no longer in affiliation with as they generate. That topic was held over for the next meeting to be announced soon.
7. The re-visiting of the Constitution and Bylaws are also held over until the next meeting to be announced soon.

Executive Board Discuss FOP Arbitration Ruling & Subsequent Council Reactions

October 5, 2004 - IAFF2067 Executive Board members met today to discuss the recent developments in the FOP vs. the CON Arbitration Case. All Executive Board members & Negotiating Team members set this time aside to sit down and discuss what course of action is best for the 2067 membership in the event the CON opted for several obvious choices that now face them as a result of their recent decisions.

One decision that was brought to a conclusion was the addition of an agenda item to be brought up to the membership at the next Union Meeting. It deals with the possible discussion and possible action taken on our membership in the PFFO. The reason for this discussion will be more evident as we draw closer to the next Union Meeting. To date, the IAFF Local 2067 is paying somewhere around $1300 per month to the PFFO.

Minutes as documented:

1. Update by President Crawford on the recent FOP Arbitration win.
2. Discussion and update on IAFF Negotiation options for the upcoming year.
3. Motion made to submit agenda item for next Union Meeting: "Discuss and possibly take action on our continued membership in the PFFO.
