Should I call or text my supervisor or Manager on Tuesday morning?
Answer: No, you are not required to make contact.
Will there be sign-up sheets at the worksite?
Answer: Yes, there will be sign-in sheets at Historic and Roseville Courthouses. Sign-in sheets are another form that will protect our members in showing that the members were on strike and exercising their protected rights prescribed by law.
Will UPE red shirt be available if I don't have one?
Answer: Shirts, signs, and all supplies will be available on the morning of the strike at each location.
Are there restrooms available?
Answer: Yes, there are public restrooms at the jail, probation office, and DA's office. The Courthouse is also open to the public. Members wishing to go through the magnetometer to access the restrooms should not encounter any issues.
What happens if the admin wants to continue negotiations before Tuesday?
Answer: We are willing to continue negotiations at any point and have invited the Court to reach out to us if they have any movement for us.
What happens when I return to work on Wednesday and my desk is a mess and everything's behind?
Answer: We fully expect to return to a backed-up workload. They cannot require you to do more than you would typically handle on a regular workday. You still have the right to take breaks and lunches. If you experience any harassment from management or admin, please reach out to a shop steward.
Will I be directed by the Court to come in on Tuesday?
Answer: At this point, NO. Don't stop to argue or debate with a coworker, supervisor, or manager who tries to delay or persuade you not to participate. Just smile and keep walking.
Will there be other job actions, including Strikes?
Answer: Yes, unless we get a contract. It's hard to say when. It all depends on the Court and their willingness to negotiate a contract that will be equitable for all court employees. The union will make every effort to keep you informed through this unfortunate time, as the situation develops. There's no need to be frightened by this situation. We're simply doing what millions of workers before us had to do. We benefit today from their efforts, and present- and future-day workers will benefit from ours.
If I'm on probation, can I STRIKE?
