I am requesting that the position of Supervising Liquor Control Investigator not be deleted and no action be taken to create a new Administrative Officer position at this time. In accordance with our Unit 03 and 04 collective bargaining agreements, the employer is required to consult with tb.e Union prior to implementing any major policy change affecting employee relations. This change is a reorganization within the Department of Liquor Control and constitutes a major policy change. Your attention is directed to the attached letter to Department Head Janice Fakele, dated April 12, 2001 in which we requested consultation. To date, consultation has not taken place. Ou ~d1ay q, 2401, we received a faX cagy of a Vlay i, 2001 lettet $~orn NIs. Pakeie confirming that the Liquor Control Supervising Investigator position has been deleted from the proposed budget FY 2001-2001, and although "we have included the position of Administrative Officer in the proposed budget FY 2001-2002 we have neither completed our review nor have we finalized the proposal". Finally, Ms. Pakele informed us that she is available to discuss our concerns.
