New York City Plans to Reclassify IT Titles
Dear sisters and brothers:
I am writing to inform you of the Department of Citywide Administrative
Services plan to change the Information Technology/Data Processing Civil Service
titles to non-competitive titles. And I quote:
We need your continued support to save our Civil Service titles from being
made into Non-competitive titles. It is important for you to have your voice
heard. Many of your Local's Brothers and Sisters have made it possible for your
voice to be heard by drafting letters to your State Assembly member and City
Council Representatives.
The form letters supplied are quick and easy to fill out and will take no
more than 5 minutes of your time.
You can still send an e-mail, a letter, or make a call.
You cannot be forced to take any position or promotion. You can not be forced
to give up your civil service position to take a non-civil service position. If
your agency changes or tries to change your civil service status without your
permission, contact Local 2627 immediately. Be cautious, not all positions
offered are protected DC37 or union positions.
In the February 27, 2009, Chief-Leader, page five, "Letters to the
Editors." a letter to the editor titled
"A Costly Promotion"
describes how one Local 2627 member found that out that all that glitters is not
gold.

Bereavement
Good and Welfare is generally flowers or a fruit basket sent to members that
are seriously ill or members who suffer the death of an immediate family member
or a new birth in the members immediate family. As I stated generally, there
are some exceptions that we decide on as they occur.
When you send a request for Good and Welfare for a member you always have to
include the member's name, agency and phone number. We need to know the where to
send, the what to send and the who to send to.
