5/19/2011 L/M meeting. Couple grievances to advance. MasterJourney test settled. 10 years seniority, pass practice and written exam with a score of 85% or better. the lab soon. Lab folks should orientate new apprentices on the basic fabrication and best handling practices for lab work. Your chance to show folks what really goes on in your job! The best opticians know how to lay out lenses and minimize lab issues by knowing what they are asking the lab to do. Two day off arbitration finally scheduled for August. |
| 10/2011 2 day off arbitration half done. The Union presented it case and the Company asked for adjournment. Arbitrator has offered 12/27 for the Company to offer its case. The week between Christmas and New Year's has seen a flurry of time off request denials across the Company. It is the highest volume week of the year for most stores. New leadership slated to guide EVC. TR moves on to big challenges. Lab Journeys may now request consideration for the Master position. Re-branding right around the corner. Welcome to Visionworks, formerly Empire Vision!! |
Two day off arbitrator has offered 1/23/2012 for next hearing date. The process grinds on slowly.
Company has near universal ban on time off for "use it or lose it week". They have that contractual
right. It would look better if all managers had the same deal but it just goes to show the double
standard.
Company continues to deny that a CL license or permit is required to do I & R's in NYS as the
ophthalmic board has stated. Litigation to clarify is commencing.
SDS incentive sheets do not always match pay outs. Company says that is a software issues. Bring
any documented errors to the attention of the lead steward.
