Office & Professional Employees International Union, AFL-CIO Ozaukee County Grievance Form

NAME: Sheriff Department Cooks DEPARTMENT: Sheriffs
STATEMENT OF GRIEVANCE: The County violated Article IV, Section 1, (18) and Side Bar Letter 8 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement by failing to provide an opportunity to the employees to submit a proposal for retaining the work for the Ozaukee County Jail meal program and the Senior Meal program. The employees were not notified when the Sheriff submitted requests for proposals to operate the program from four separate vendors. A copy of the proposed contract with the outside vendor, CBM, was not provided until March 27, 2006, the day we were informed our positions were being subcontracted. Further, we believe the County has acted in bad faith by engaging in surface bargaining with no intentions of considering any proposal from the affected employees.
ARTICLES VIOLATED: Article 4, Section 1, (18) and Side Bar Letter 8 and all other applicable articles
REMEDY SOUGHT: The contract between CBM and the County be voided and the employees be given the opportunity to submit a proposal to retain the work for the Ozaukee County jail meal and Senior Meal programs. Further, the County shall provide to the Union and the employees all necessary information for the development of a proposal. Affected employees who suffer lost wages or benefits as a result of the County's action to subcontract these programs shall be made whole.
Employees: Janice Doers, Janet Pawling, Nancy Hosking, Lois Lanser, Sharon Zemlicka, Darlene Rinehart, Jennifer Nagel, Sandra Berres
