What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New Jersey
Is there anywhere I can find info on responsibilities of a union rep prior to the signing of a first contract? I have posted before about being asked to get salary and benefit information for employees. The rep. finally conceded, after being confronted, that it was her job to do so. I am now being asked to get a list of employees so she can get title information. We are a relatively small place so this may not be a big deal, just seems I shouldn't be the one doing it....if they don't have it already. I would think after a year of working with us, they would have employee names. I actually feel like it puts my job in jeopardy.
Is the rep. responsible for writing the contract, after discussing our needs of course? We were given the contract from another unit and told to adjust it to our needs. Unfortunately, the rep refuses to meet with us to discuss the writing of the contract and it doesn't cover all we need it to. She and our previous rep. tried to force us to the negotiating table twice with an incomplete contract. They did JUST hire a lawyer to help with writing the contract which is suspect after all this time.
Thanks for any advice you can give.
