Once again there was little support from the Uniserv on this, as they advised not to circulate the petition while employees are on the clock.
"It is outside of my responsibilities and authority to become involved in local governance issues. Thus, I believe it would be inappropriate for me to advise you on issues regarding who should or should not be representing your local's interest."
This never did get circulated, but really should have.
To: The De Pere Educational Support Personnel Association Members
The undersigned association members feel our current president and grievance chair person, Janice C******* has failed in her duties to uphold the purposes of the union bylaws and her duty of fair representation.
Specifically we are no longer confident in her ability to aid and assist members and have been witness to conflicts of interest that have led to negligence of her duty of fair representation. We fell she puts our association in jeopardy through her repeated irresponsible behavior.
Furthermore;
-She was elected Sat June 7th, 2003. Bylaws dictate that officers serve for two years, and may be re-elected without an interviewing term. At our last general membership meeting at the end of the last school year we should have had an election of officers.
-During the process of developing the support staff evaluation from Janice claimed to have sought out and brought forward feedback from unit members to a committee consisting of administrators, supervisors, and herself. To the best of our knowledge this is a false claim.
The undersigned
