<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The Organization of New York State Management Confidential Employees (OMCE) is a voluntary membership association of State employees who are unable to join a union due to the designation of their positions
as managerial or confidential in nature. Our members, NYS employees, are in a broad variety of policy-making management roles or in administrative positions that provide support to collective bargaining and human resources functions.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Our members are treated differently than union-represented employees as they are prohibited by law from collective bargaining. Compensation and benefits therefore frequently lag those obtained by others in
union-represented positions (including those employees in identical titles). To remedy this, we are considering drafting legislation that links the compensation increases of managerial and confidential employees to the compensation increases of union-represented
employees. While we are not seeking EQUAL salaries, but we are seeking EQUAL increases in base salaries.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Please share with us any law, regulation, policy or memorandum in your state that specifically links pay or pay increases for managerial and/or confidential employees to those of unionized (or non-unionized)
rank and file employees.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
