Local 6 Vaccine Response Letter

November 4, 2022

Braintree, MA 02184

RE: VACCINATION UPLOAD POLICY

Dear President Mahoney,

I am writing to follow up with you regarding my correspondence dated November 2, 2022, and to update you regarding our plan to implement the mandatory vaccination reporting policy at the Trial Court.

As you are aware, the Trial Court first notified Local 6 of our Vaccination Upload plan on August 8, 2022. We then met with you on August 25, 2022, at which time we shared that the policy would begin on October 1, 2022, and be voluntary for 30 days, after which time it may become mandatory if there was not a sufficient response. We met again on October 3, 2022, to demonstrate the vaccine upload tool and again answer questions regarding our implementation of the plan. On October 24, 2022 we informed you that unfortunately we would need to move to a mandatory Vaccine Upload plan.

Ground Rules

Dear Sisters & Brothers,

The Trial Court and OPEIU Local 6 are committed to providing you with regular updates on the progress of our current negotiations.

We are pleased to report that on September 20, 2022 the Trial Court and OPEIU Local 6 have signed Ground Rules. This will guide both parties in negotiations as we reach our goal of reaching an agreement on the successful adoption of a new compensation and classification structure.

The Trial Court and OPEIU Local 6 have scheduled bi-weekly meetings on Wednesdays to discuss the new classifications and other associated Compensation and Classification Study issues. We also scheduled “off-week” regular meetings, designed to address follow up questions and to plan subsequent Compensation and Classification Study meetings.

Thank you for your patience during this very important process.

In solidarity,

Your Local 6 Officers and Staff
