Light Duty Improper Practice: Info Needed from Members

The UFA is doing research regarding our Improper Practice case against the City challenging the change of light duty FF schedules. A conference was held at OLR on July 2, 2007 in an effort to quantify certain factual issues regarding unilaterally changing the schedules of firefighters assigned to light duty. In order to document these facts, the UFA needs any firefighter who was on light duty prior to the changes implemented with PA/ID 1 of 2007 last January to forward the requested information below to UFA Recording Secretary Joe Miccio. We are attempting to determine if light duty FFs who were previously not required to sign on and off duty are now required to do so on a daily basis since the implementation of the new PA/ID policy.

It is imperative that affected members provide the following information:

1. Before the policy change, were you required to sign both on and off duty while on light duty?

2. Have you been evaluated in a written format re your light duty assignment?

3. If yes, what areas of performance are being assessed for?

4. Have you been adversely affected by a negative evaluation? If yes, describe how.

5. Were you ever evaluated on your light duty performance before the new PA/ID was issued?

6. Have you ever pursued an appeal of a negative light duty evaluation?

*Please prepare the attached form and fax it to 212-683-4359 (or 212-683-0710 if busy), ATTN Joe Miccio.

Fraternally,

Stephen J. Cassidy
President

Joseph A. Miccio
Recording Secretary
