The Federation and its Corrections team in no way bargained to implement the Electronic Home Monitoring policy.
In fact, a demand to bargain its impacts was filed Sept. 14. A bargaining session on that issue is set for Oct. 21.
In filing the demand the bargain, the union made it clear it did not appreciate management representations that somehow the union and its DOC team OK’d the controversial policy.
The union did take part in informal discussions and has attempted to get the issue addressed at statewide union/management communications meetings. In fact, DOC an Oct. 15 memo to staff acknowledged negotiations did not take place.
