“These stories provide snapshots about wasteful state government contracts and are a real eye-opener. Don’t even talk to me about cutting state workers’ pay and benefits until state government gets a grip on this insanity.â€

As the President of the Michigan State Employees Association MSEA/AFSCME Local 5, 2008-2010, I want to welcome you. During my term as President, I will strive to make MSEA as beneficial and dependable to its members as I possibly can.

MSEA is a Union that has been representing its members for over 55 years. MSEA was founded by state employees who were looking for a strong and unified voice to represent them. Throughout the years we have continued to be that voice.

The MSEA staff serves members by providing fair and equal representation and continually strives to win the rights its members so justly deserve.

If you are a member, get in touch with your Region Director for information regarding region meetings. Become involved! Be an active member. Make your voice heard. You are a vital part of MSEA. If you are a visitor to our website, please take this opportunity to learn more about our Union.

We are working for you…and working for Michigan!

Furlough Days

The MSEA Central Office received a great deal of phone calls this week concerning additional furlough days. There is a rumor circulating that MSEA will be given 15 additional furlough days. As of today, MSEA has not received notice of any temporary layoff days besides the 5 we were already given this year.

I have not received any information concerning additional furlough days.

According to the MSEA Collective Bargaining agreement, the employer can give up to 20 Temporary Layoff days per fiscal year(Article 12, page 33). MSEA has already received 5 temporary layoff days and the Employer can still assign up to 15 more temporary layoff days until Oct. 1, 2010.

In the February 2010 issue of the MSEA News, Labor Relations Corner, "MSEA Wins ULP," (p. 4), it was incorrectly stated that the department involved in retaliating against a new MSEA Spokesperson for filing a MIOSHA complaint was the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT).  In fact, it was the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC).  We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
