Sally
Kenney called the meeting to order at 12:40. Minutes
for the previous general meeting are available and will
be printed in the next newsletter. Sally announced that
Diane Scacchetti has been transferred to an exempt position
in Human Resource and that we will need a new treasurer
for the Executive Committee almost immediately. Those
interested should let Sally know. Gary Carlile provided
an update on the negotiations of the other unions, focusing
on the issue of healthcare benefits; Sally noted that
Carol Cooke and Greg Gulas are the APAS representatives
on the Health Care Advisory Task Force. Gary reported
that negotiations between the University and both ACE
and YSU-OEA have been difficult, even contentious. |
Jean
Engle announced that volunteers are needed for a four-hour
freeway clean-up, set for the end of June, and noted
that APAS had agreed to take responsibility for a specific
corner, which is designated by an APAS sign. Ohio Reads
certificates were distributed to the 6 APAS volunteers,
who helped students at North Elementary: M. Munroe,
J. Taylor, H. Patrick, S. Kenney, M. North, and J. Engle.
Sally Kenney reported on the status of the pay grade
study, noting that the survey has been sent out and
returned. The JIFs are problematic, however, because
of downloading difficulties. Completing a JIF will be
a lengthy task of 3 or more hours and must be reviewed
and signed of on by supervisors. The intention is to
complete the study by the end of summer and to then
re-open negotiations. Re-opening negotiations, though,
does not include the strike capability, which would
instead be held in abeyance until the next negotiations.
Tentative dates: a.) June 17-JIFS to be e-mailed; b.)
July 19-JIFS returned to Human Resources; c.) August
26-recommendations from Buck.

The
next Executive Committee meeting will be June 13. The
flooding in Cushwa Hall was discussed with concern to
health issues. A report on air quality should be completed
within 6 weeks. The meeting adjourned at 1:15.
Respectfully
submitted,
Sherri Zander,
Recording Secretary
