To those working at MCI-C: I'm so sorry for the loss that you are about to incur when newly appointed Superintendent Bruce "Big Pants" Gelb takes over your institution. You will lose any sense of security you had about your job. If you thought you were doing it right all these years, you will find that once Big Pants is in, you weren't. All these years that the cons have been acting up, it's really been your fault for antagonizing them and just generally being wrong about everything. If you are cleared of the ridiculous charges that will inevitably be brought against you, you will be charged with the something incidental that the DOC digs up in the course of the investigation, such as, you forgot to pay your excise tax in '99, and you must be punished for it. Superintendent Big Pants started out as a screw. Apparently nobody would let him join in any reindeer games because now he seems to have an enormous chip on his shoulder in regards to any uniformed staff. There will be new cameras installed in staff areas. There will be new and ever more ridiculous edicts passed having nothing to do with security.
He is a waste of oxygen and a shame to those of us who work the lines. Keep your chins up. You're in for a rough ride.

we need to vote all the e-board incumbents out of office in this next election. We are losing at every turn.
1) no raise
2) 5% increase in out health insurance.
3) we lost holiday pay. about $5,000/yr per officer.
4) no political clout even though we give several thousand dollars to several politicians.
5) President Steve kenneway has provided no leadership.
6) Legislative Rep. Joe Gaurino is a no show.
7) Executive Secretary Henry Harris is not even a correction officer-he is a brownshirt maintenance worker from shirley med.
8)Grievance Coordinator james Nason admits he still does not know his job and needs more time to learn.

This union has gone downhill for the past six to eight years under the so called leadership of these guys.

they might be good guys I don't know any of them. This is nothing personal. but they have had there chance.

Lets vote in some hardworking, smart and solid union guys who will work hard for us and NOT sell us out.

What this Union truly needs is to rethink it's structure.
First of all the Executive Board should be more of a steering commitee.
We need to hire professional people to run the day to day and represent us on negotiations.
1) An Executive Director: Hired by the E-Board and pay is based on performance.
2) A Legislative Rep: Again hired by E-Board and pay is based on performance. ALot of Ex Senators out there who know the ins and outs and have the connections we need.
3) A Business Agent: Hired by E-Board and paid on performance.

The members of the E-Board would only work 2 days a week in the union office the rest of the time they would be back in the institutions. Have all members in one day a week at union office to meet together and then one other day so that we have an Officer there at all times overseeing the process.

This would allow us to put forth a professional appearance and the hired professionals would be able to speak more frankly about situations as they would not have to worry about petty retaliations by the DOC when their term was up, and the harder they worked for us the better their pay.

A cabbie picks up a Nun. She gets into the cab, and notices that the VERY handsome cab driver won't stop staring at her..
She asks him why he is staring.
He replies: 'I have a question to ask, but I don't want to offend you.'
She answers, 'My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask I would find offensive.'
'Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kissme.'
She responds, 'Well, let's see what we can do about that: #1 you have to be single and #2, you must be Catholic.'
The cab driver is very excited and says, 'Yes, I'm single and Catholic!'
'OK' the nun says. Pull into the next alley.'
The nun fulfills his fantasy with a kiss that would make a hooker blush. But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.
'My dear child,' said the nun, 'Why are you crying?'
'Forgive me but I've sinned. I lied and I must confess; I'm married and I'm Jewish.'
The nun says, 'That's OK. My name is Kevin and I'm going to a Halloween party.

There are applications being accepted for next years newest softball tournament team.

Qualifications for the team are straight forward and simple.

1. You must be able to answer the question " what position do you like to play". ( "I will play where ever you want" is NOT an acceptable answer)

2. Winning is important. Losing to the Champions of the last tourney would be the equivelant of nailing your penis to the side of George Hamels barn.

3. Anyone interested please contact Jerry begley.

Officers Dragone, Inglese, and Lt.'s Pinto and Harte should remove themselves from employee forum committee. They have been discussing issues that are appropriate for labor/ management meetings,not brain storming sessions with management. If these officers would like to get involved and be productive in representing the line staff at MCI Concord, I would suggest they run for union steward.

Where do we begin? Let's state the obvious in a Department as large as this one we are not going to like every person we work with. With that being said you have countless co. workers coming on here and sticking a knife in each others backs. We all know these boards can be viewed by anyone and we come on here and make countless attacks on one another and do absolutely nothing to make ourselves look any better in the public eye or to other law enforcement agencies. This is why we get no respect and are on the level of mall security to many people. We all have to depend on each other whether we like the next person or not. When the shit hits the fan, these very people you trash talk are the same people you are going to rely on to come and save your ass so that you get to go home to your family. You can comment how you wish or find some error in this message to comment on but everyone reading this truly knows inside that this is the truth. If you have a problem with someone or how they do this job why not bring it to their attention? Why sit on here hidden behind a computer screen? Well that question we all know the answer to. It is also expected that there are those of you who will come up with something to say cause you want to be cute but you just end up disgracing the uniform, the job and yourself. If you are so miserable why not just leave? Forget the money, staff, cons, institutions and just go and be happy somewhere else.

WORCESTER — The union representing correction officers and sergeants at the Worcester County Jail and House of Correction in West Boylston has filed a lawsuit accusing Sheriff Guy W. Glodis of unilaterally changing some jail employees’ work schedules in violation of their collective bargaining agreement and state law.

According to the suit, which was filed yesterday in Worcester Superior Court by Local 550 of the New England Police Benevolent Association, the sheriff’s office notified the union last month that about 220 permanent officers who had been working a weekly schedule of four days on and two days off would be put on a schedule of five days on and two days off, effective Aug. 1.

The union was told the change was necessary because of a “financial emergency,” according to the lawsuit.

The sheriff’s office had earlier proposed abolishing the four and two work schedule during contract negotiations, but the change had not been accepted or ratified by the union, the suit states. Renewed collective bargaining negotiations are scheduled next month, according to the suit, which describes changes to work schedules as “mandatory subjects for bargaining.”

In a brief in support of a preliminary injunction Local 550 is seeking that would enjoin the sheriff from implementing the change until the case is decided on its merits, union lawyer Kevin E. Buck said affected officers had expressed concerns about day care issues, obligations to ailing relatives, an inability to spend time with their families on weekends and the possibility that their spouses’ work schedules would also have to be altered.

A court hearing on the injunction request is scheduled for 2 p.m. Tuesday.

Jail Superintendent Jeffrey R. Turco said the change was necessary to avoid layoffs and furloughs of correction officers in the face of a $4.5 million reduction in the jail’s budget for the fiscal year that began July 1. Under the four and two schedule, officers were being paid for 12 days per year that they did not work, according to Mr. Turco.

“We pick up 96 hours per man of additional work hours,” under the five and two schedule, reducing the need for overtime pay and the use of temporary officers to fill shifts, he said. Mr. Turco said it was the sheriff’s position that the current contract allows for the change.

“We’re not asking our COs to do anything that other COs across the state aren’t doing,” he said.

Mr. Turco said members of other unions at the jail, which employs about 650 people, were being forced to take 26 furlough days as a result of the budget cut from $45.7 million to $41.2 million. The reduction has also resulted in the closing of a minimum-security building at the West Boylston facility, according to Mr. Turco.

He described the change in work schedules as “the best of the alternatives in order to preserve COs.”

The union’s suit seeks unspecified financial damages with interest, costs and attorneys’ fees.
