Date Posted: 15:41:29 08/08/09 Sat 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. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Your notice to appear for the examination will indicate whether or not you are already classified as a veteran. Qualifying service must have been in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, or Air Force of the United States.

Date Posted: 00:27:57 10/23/08 Thu Use Gmail, Go to Jail? Google is ordered to hand over the IP address of a Gmail user in the Netherlands. Here is why you should be concerned. Fans of the classic Animal Farm may remember the scene where the ruling pigs are caught secretly revising the Commandments of Animalism painted on the barn wall. (Or maybe not -- does anyone read Orwell any more?) Google may soon be doing painting over its own "Don't be evil" commandment -- or at the very least adding a few key qualifications and amendments. The latest example: Google has been ordered to turn over the IP address of a Gmail user in The Netherlands who allegedly used his account for corporate espionage. Per The Register: The CEO of Dutch internet incubator company iMerge suspected that a former disgruntled employee, who also acted as a system administrator, had secretly created an auto-forward rule in one of the company's mail servers. Several mails, including business conversations and a romantic discourse which led to a divorce, were forwarded to a Gmail address. As I've written for CW's sister pub, Infoworld.com, disgruntled IT employees are a growing threat to enterprises (just as enterprises are no picnic for overworked and underappreciated IT drones). They can do enormous damage very easily. So I'm not condoning the actions of the employee behind the account "alfaiscool2002@gmail.com." And Google did initially fight the request until ordered by the court. But once the legal hammer came down, Google rolled over -- just as it has in similar cases in Israel and India. I have a couple of problems with this story. Problem #1. If you're an IT guy trying to screw over your employer, shouldn't you know better than to use Gmail? I mean, why not just tattoo "saboteur" on your forehead and be done with it? Problem #2: The ginormous cache of data Google stores about each of its users, due both to the breadth of its services and Google's insatiable appetite for data. It's like one-stop shopping for corporate counsel, divorce attorneys, repressive governments, and any other clown with a subpoena and the lawyers to back it up. If you value your privacy, Google is not a company you want to do business with, regardless of what the company says on its blog. Because if all pigs are created equal, some pigs are definitely more equal than others. And Google is the Boss Hog on this farm. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

The following are some basic RIGHTS and first steps to take when HURT IN THE LINE OF DUTY… *If you were injured in the line of duty seek medical help for real serious injuries get to an ER for treatment and if able let your Boss and Union know you got hurt a.s.a.p.. * No matter who first helps you medically follow up immediately with your Primary Care Physician (PCP). Explain exactly what happen and list all of your injuries no matter how trivial. *Most important do not let your PCP farm you out to any outside overall healthcare providers i.e. a workman’s comp clinics also known as “occupational health clinics” of any type without a clear understanding of your Rights. *The only healthcare providers you should be seeing outside your PCP are specialists referred by your PCP for your specific injuries and or those you choose to see.

Date Posted: 21:01:27 06/19/07 Tue Dear MOCOFU Members: After you read the most recent proposal agreement for the contract that expands beyond the normal 36 month period to 42 mos this is what they are offering: You take your base salary (and the proposal does not say anything about the use of overtime –and its hardly relevant anyway) e.g. Sgt step 7 @ $28.11/hr x .08 or (8%) for (9) mos and you get $3386.88. Add the $3,000 “bonus” (it is anything but a bonus more like a carrot) and you get $6386.88 as the increase over FORTYTWO MONTHS. This represents a 3,3% (you divide your total compensation e.g. $188,918.52 into the $6386.88 to get the percentage increase) increase. It is a mistake to take into account the proposed 3% that takes effect July, 8 2007. Yes ladies and gentlemen they got the language they wanted too. You might argue that we are at an impass. Well I don’t think an arbitrator would do any worse. Going down the middle we would do better at arbritration. Please tell your stewards no. Vote NO. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 04:48:17 07/05/07 Thu 9 months of retro? I don't think so. They messed with the sick time language, then left it alone, then went back to messing with it. This was a calculated move on the part of the commonwealth along with starving us out then offering only a percentage of what we should be getting. It is too bad that the soon to be retired and the new jacks will all go for this and those of us who fall in between will suffer for it. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
