Hi ,

General Membership Meeting

6 pm, Tuesday, November 29, 2022, at UOG SBPA Rm 129

A big thank you to all who can attend. On the agenda: Status update on the GFT building, discussion on Bills 346-36 and 331-36, and updates on contract negotiations.

Detailed Assignments

GFT field representatives have been meeting with both Republican and Democrat Senators over the last couple of weeks to discuss the ongoing practice by the administration to indefinitely detail employees to promotional positions without additional pay instead of providing employees with legitimate promotional opportunities.

Hundreds of law enforcement employees, Firefighters, and others have been assigned to work at positions above the pay grade they hold. These are often our best and brightest employees. This practice is referred to as “detail assignment” and responsive laws and rules provide for differential pay when these assignments run longer than 30 days. Unfortunately, no pay differential has been provided to hundreds of employees over several years. Bill 331-36 looks to reduce the pay of directors and deputy directors by 10% if they continue to detail employees over 30 days.
