-           NEO (union)-contractually we’re allowed to meet with people as they come into state service, and we’d like to get that to happen. Human resources says that it is a bigger conversation than just the local learning and development level of each program. The Human Resource director is working with learning and development to try to get the union time to meet with new employees.    Human Resource director gave new employees the field representative’s (for AFSCME) email address so that they can reach out with questions or concerns.   

Next meeting scheduled: February 23, 2023-will follow up with where we’re going to meet.
