Mr. Garwood and Undersheriff Bean briefed the committee on the two grievances they were about to hear. The committee moved to Room 203-B at 3:15 p.m.
Grievance Hearings
First Grievance – Shift Differential Issue: The road deputies requested and management agreed in August 2004 to go from five (5) shifts per day, including a 10:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. (midnight shift), to three (3) shifts per day, not including a 10:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. shift. Since the change was made the county has not been paying the 40¢ midnight shift differential. The union filed a class action grievance on January 31, 2005.
This meeting was set as a third step meeting in accordance with the Deputies/ Dispatchers Bargaining Unit contract.
Pat Spidelll, Business Representative, Police Officers Association of Michigan (POAM), explained the union’s position regarding the shift differential grievance.
The committee discussed the issue with Undersheriff Bean and Mr. Spidell. |

Second Grievance – Officer Wheatley Issue: Officer Wheatley had a counseling memorandum placed in his file. Even though he has been informed it was only instructional and did not constitute discipline, he filed a grievance objecting to the placement of the document in his personnel file.
In meeting with Mr. Spidell he explained the union’s position on the issue.
The committee asked additional questions of Mr. Spidell, Undersheriff Bean and Mr. Garwood.

Chairman Bob McLeod indicated that if Mr. Spidell would give the county an extension of one week the committee would provide an answer to him on both the shift differential issue and the grievance filed in behalf of Deputy Officer Wheatley.
