- Negotiations - John and Stephanie
Summary of negotiations survey
This was our first electronic survey. We had an excellent response,
with over 1000 responders. UMPNC first table developed issues for
negotiations based on member feedback from the membership
meetings, surveys at those membership meetings, the on-line survey,
and presentations by the Area Reps. At today's meeting, the union's topics
of negotiations were presented to the union Second Table negotiators for
their review and input.
Further, in regard to maintaining good communication with members during
bargaining, Candace Saylor, one of our members, and a nurse on 8A, has
established a Delphi Forum for UMPNC members to discuss negotiations
issues and other items of interest. UMPNC provided her with a list of
members and she began sending invites. Karen Matthews will be working
with her 1/9/08 to try to get everyone invited.
Lisa will provide information about this to Danni (our webmaster) to add to
the UMPNC website when we do our next update.
- Treasurer's Report
Robbi provided a summary of our current reserves. On 12/28/07, with the
officer's approval, Robbi changed our business checking account to a
Business Sweep" Account. This account has an automatic sweep feature
moves idle balances from checking into a linked money market savings
account each night to earn interest for you. When money is needed to cover
checks or withdrawals, the money moves back to the checking account -
automatically. I was able to negotiate that the annual fee be waived for this
year. The current interest we are earning is 4.85% on our idle checking
balance through May 7th 2008 then we will re-evaluate the cost-benefit of
this program. Discussion on the budget was deferred until our next general
membership meeting later this month.
