Hi Guys,

George did reach out to Ryan about this request and I approved the email to be delivered when it came in this morning. So, this is my bad.

I will not approve any other requests like this, especially until a protocol can be established for how to address requests from outside our organization.

Sorry again and have a wonderful weekend!

P.S. Be easy on me, it’s my birthday 😉

I would be concerned about opening this door to unions, employee associations and/or any other groups that learn about this group’s email. I’m not sure we have the resources to research and respond to questions other than through official contacts on the mailing list for each member state.

I’ve heard stories about a world-wide-web, or internet thing, that seems to be a good resource for questions like those asked, by George. 😊

Hi all and happy Friday. 😊

The use of Gmail does not surprise me. In WA, employee organizations are not allowed to use the state email system for organized activities. Adam, are you familiar with this organization?

Does NCASG have a protocol regarding requests from outside the organization? If not, we should set one. On one hand, this seems to be a straight forward request for published information. But will we establish a past practice requiring us to respond to all future inquiries including those that involve the use of our Public Disclosure Officers?

If we decide to respond:

WA has no law, regulation or memorandum that specifically links pay or pay increases for managerial and/or confidential employees to those of unionized (or non-unionized) rank and file employees.

He’s also using GMAIL.  Something doesn’t add up.

Best,

I though Adam Reinemann was the official contact for NYS. Should this individual and/or this volunteer organization have access to our mailing list?

Dear NCASG members:

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.

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.

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.

Thank you very much for your assistance.  I benefited greatly from your assistance when I served in New York State’s Department of Civil Service just a few short years ago.

Best regards,

George Velesko
Executive Director
NYS OMCE
