Update 10/1/2026
10/01/26 - AFSCME Local 2650 1. Grievances — Keep up with those grievances. I submitted 4 more to arbitration today. It is a long, slow process, but it is what we need to do. The employer wants to deny everything (when they respond) so that is the route we need to take. 2. FMLA on Mandating — That arb case has been settled, and you will need to certify the hours actually needed for mandating. |
