The Meet and confer is coming up next week on Wednesday 12-9-20 at 9 am and I would like any input you all may have on issues that need to be addressed. we have to submit our issues and solutions by Friday 12-4-20. Some of the issues I have in mind are as follows:
1. ports in the control rooms not big enough to shoot the launchers down into the office or sallyport.
2. Addressing in real time, the immediate concerns of staff when inmates show hostility towards staff. 3. Promotional Interviews- the idea of bringing in outside agency staff to sit on the interview boards. using the evaluations and letters of commendation as a tool in choosing qualified supervisors. Also a follow up communication with applicants to inform them how they can improve for future opportunities.
4. Performance evaluations- they should be more personal and thorough, instead of the meets standard score straight down.
please submit any additional items you would like discussed. these items must be HDSP only, not things that need addressed by the NDOC as a whole. If you would like to attend the meet and confer, FOP can have 4 representatives. Usually Ash and I attend. If you would like to attend or if you have an issue that you would like discussed, please leave a comment to tell us below. Thanks and be safe.

I agree they should all be biddable. As far as 12’s we have addressed this and will continue to address it as you stated. I can’t sell widespread 10’s because they are not nearly as cost effective as 8’s or 12’s. 8’s and 12’s require they exact same number of staff, we will need to propose a…
This also needs to brought up when is admin going to start backing up officer when they get attacked or propelled on instead of asking why and what did you do.
Not Sure If having a supervisor include his\her personal perception of an employees work ethics on an employees evaluation will be more productive than harmful and may lead to more buddy system politics which we should be working to get rid of. Evaluations should be based on observed employee performance over an extended length of time which should require area supervisors to physically show up in those areas continuously to give an accurate account.
And of course "Biddable Hybrid Shift Schedules", lets not continue ignoring what a percentage of staff want, just because a percentage of us prefer to work 8 hour shifts doesn't mean that the percentage that prefer an alternative shift shouldn't be afforded that opportunity, doesn't mean…
