All,
I received a letter today from Acting Air Traffic Manager Jim Swanson. It seems he was tasked with delivering to me a victory on a grievance filed by EK in February 2009..
For those of you who don’t know, Cliff Rushing and Ed Masterson have deprived me of as much pay as they possibly could without actually suspending me (until now of course). Well, part of that was depriving me of my Organizational Success Increase for 2008. This amounts to something like $4200 or so (could be more). They did this without regard for their own rules, white book or federally mandated pay system. Just simply an arbitrary and very capricious action. I’ll bet CR and EM had a good laugh together when they did that.
So today I get a love letter from 118 Flagpole Road. Of course, I figure it’s just another form letter response to the grievances I’ve filed recently. Turns out that 7 months later and with no previous responses to it, FAA has sustained my grievance. I will be retroactively paid the full OSI for 2008 and I’ll get whatever the base pay adjustment was. Score one for the good guys!
I think EK had filed some other OSI grievances. I’ll find out the status of those when I can get into the office to search the files. I hope this small win for the union is the first step in reversing all of Ed Masterson’s destructive actions.
If anyone else has issues with their previous OSI, please let me know.
Best,
RY
