From COAD President Stephen Martelli
The first thing I like to clarify is the rumor of 247- P&P overtime, COAD is the blame. 247 Hazzard is misleading in- formation. He was told by Commissioner Carl Danberg, two months, it was going to stop, Commissioner Danberg deci- sion read memo. Negotiations for August we are waiting for a date because the Bill was just passed, August 2nd signed by Governor Minner. Thomas Ridgley and I have met with outside organizations to try to stop the attacks , favoritism against COAD membership. In the coming months LT. Car- ney, will be speaking at our union meeting, so if there’s something on your mind come out & express it.
Stephen Martelli
President of COAD
mindful of the consequences of From the Vice Presidents SCI your actions.
Speaking of overtime, thanks to Officer Kevin Collins and Janice Snead for the excellent job they do calling the weekly overtime list on Sundays. Thanks as well as Sgt Damon Ball and others in control for the daily calls.
Starting September 1, 2007, the list will be rotated so that the calls will begin where they left off the previous week. This means that you may be receiving calls at a different time of the day than you are accustomed to. This gives everyone on the list an equal chance of receiving overtime.
There are 6 COAD representatives available at SCI: Kevin Collins and Janice Snead at GP7, Damon Ball in Control,
As some of you may know, the Commissioner has ordered that starting September 1, 2007, only COAD Officers will be allowed to work COAD overtime. As far as I know, there are NO exceptions.
This should open up a few more overtime slots throughout the week. But what is going to happen if we do not fill all of the overtime slots?
SCI continues to be short staffed. Hopefully freezing will not become an issue.
Remember, if you accept overtime and become unavailable, please give as much notice as possible to allow time to find a replacement. Call-offs and unfilled overtime may lead to the dreaded "freezing," so please be
