Re: Step III Class Action Contractual Grievance
Corrupted Computers
Article I. Purpose
Article VII. Discipline
Article XXV. Non-Discrimination
Dear Mr. Ramos:
CWA Local 1081 submits this Step III Class Action Contractual Grievance on behalf of our Family Service Worker members assigned to both the first and third floors of the County-owned 50 South Clinton Street, East Orange site to protest the fact that their computers have been corrupted for some time through aged hardware and inadequate software.
As exemplified by the attached memorandum of June 15, 2011 written ASFS Linda Bass by our member Family Service Worker Helen Asebiomo submitted within the above cited regard, the corrupted computers have long been having a deleterious effect upon our adversely affected members' ability to perform their agency duties and optimally service their respective clients.
The resolution CWA Local 1081 respectfully re-reiterates to this grievance consists of the County expeditiously replacing all of the computers and upgrading the software to be comparatively commensurate with their counterparts of this century. We seek a hearing, in this regard.
Sincerely,
David H. Weiner, President
CWA Local 1081
