From CGEU
February 14, 2005
Ms. Kathleen Sims Executive Vice President Education Division CWA 1104/GSEU 107 Murray Street Binghamton, NY 13905
Dear Ms Sims,
Article 20 of the Agreement provides for a letter of notification of employment to be issued to each employee which shall contain the anticipated duration of employment.
In the event an employee's tuition scholarship is reduced during the period identified in the letter of notification as the anticipated duration of employment, such employee shall be entitled to meet with the campus administrative officer responsible for graduate programs. In the event the employee submits a written request for such meeting to the campus administrative officer responsible for graduate programs within ten (10) calendar days of notification that his/her tuition scholarship will be reduced during the stated period of employment, the campus administrative officer shall meet with the employee within the (10) calendar days of such administrative officer's receipt of the written request for the meeting. The purpose of such meeting shall be to discuss the reduction in tuition scholarship. In the event the employee does not submit a written request for such meeting to the campus administrative officer responsible for graduate programs within ten (10) calendar days of notification that his/her tuition scholarship will be reduced during the stated period of employment, there shall be no further entitlement to a meeting with such campus administrative officer.
The employee may elect to be accompanied to such meeting by a representative of the GSEU. Such election must, however, be clearly stated in the employee's written request for the meeting with the campus administrative officer response for graduate programs. In the event an employee does not clearly state in such a written request that he/she will be accompanied by a GSEU representative, it shall be deemed a waiver of such right for purposes of such meeting.
Sincerely,
Christopher F. Eatz Assistant Director and Chief Negotiator
