UPE met with the Court to draft a procedure for units to petition for increases in the number of allotted vacation slots.
Each unit has unique challenges preventing more vacation slots. We know that these challenges can be overcome by implementing creative solutions. In the past, members of particular units have worked together to find solutions and have successfully implemented increases.
To better understand the reasons for the current levels of vacation slots, and the challenges that the Court faces with adding more vacation slots, UPE asked for the following information:
The ratio of employees to vacation slots in each bargaining unit
Data showing the demand for Court services is increasing
Data showing that the increase in vacation slots that happened in 2023 negatively impacted court operations
How many vacation slots are allotted per supervisor
