Breaks during in-service
o
A member had brought forward a concern as we
didn’t get a break during last in-service
§
Especially if working shift could be a long time
with no break
o
If ever need to go to bathroom / or stand up by
all means get up and go
o
Some other items discussed were taking a full 15
min break and in-service would start 1415 hours. On shift would be paid for full 2 hours. RDO – wouldn’t have to be to in-service
till 1415 and would only be paid for 1.75 hours.
o
Other options discussed were taking a shorter
break in middle of in-service.
o
Good discussion and agreed that the intent was
to give a break either prior to or during in-service.
o
Management also asked about having more
in-services. To make sure to have
enough time for training and different speakers. We expressed concern of more in-services
causing more time on calendar to be blocked for vacation. We requested that no other time be blocked
for vacation. In-service could be
scheduled without blocking time.

Other topics

and new commissioners (one will be new to the Metro board)
o
Ona will send out update on hiring process - had
large number of applicants.
