DOT MEMBERS PRESENT OVERTIME PETITION TO GOVERNOR

A delegation of Transportation members today (June 6) presented the governor with a petition signed by more than 500 members calling for a fix to overtime calculations. That total is nearly a third of the statewide Highway Maintenance Bargaining Unit.

Accepting the petitions on behalf of the governor was her chief of staff Cindy Zehnder.

The petitions call on the governor to support the DOT workers “in our efforts to correct how overtime is calculated and that we be paid the correct hourly rate for such overtime.”

Presenting the petition were: Rodney Jarrells, Local 1020, chair of the Federation’s Transportation Policy Committee; Federation Executive Board members Larry Flue, Local 1060, and Sue Tellesbo, Local 1020; Federation Field Rep Addley Tole; and Regional Field Supervisor Bob Keller.
