Dear Brothers and Sisters,
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 DC 37 or union

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.
Per the Citywide Contract: Article 5, Section 5, Sub-Section 6:
Family member shall be defined as: spouse; natural,
foster or step parent; child, brother or sister; father-in-law;
mother-in-law; any relative residing in the household; and domestic
partner, provided such domestic partner is registered pursuant to the
terms set forth in the New York City Administrative Code Section 3-240
et seq.
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.

President Report
August 17, 2018
Due to a conflict with an AFL-CIO COPE Convention on August
21, 2018, the Shop Steward meeting scheduled for this day is
cancelled.
August 15, 2018
Dear Sisters and Brothers,
It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I accept this
very important office as President of Local 2627, DC 37. I want to
thank you for your support in electing me to serve in this capacity.
I will discharge the duties of this office to the best of my
abilities.
My vision, in a nutshell, is to make Local 2627, DC 37 a
first-class union capable of delivering the most organized members and
members that are ready to fight for workers' rights. I promise to
fight to ensure that there are no givebacks, and to push for more
education and advancement opportunities for our members.
One of my main objectives this year is to improve the
following:
- Better and more timely communications
- Updated website
- Updated constitution
- Better member participation
I see my job as President to serve all of these objectives over
the rest of my term as much as is humanly possible since these are
things that a properly functioning union should be able to deliver at
the minimum.
How do I propose to do this?
By enacting several committees to research and recommend the
best path and options for implementation of the above mentioned
changes. I believe in working with members to achieve these goals and
listening to what direction that members want Local 2627, DC 37 to go
towards.
I would like to enact the following committees:
- Constitution — this committee will take a good hard look at
bringing our constitution into the 21st century and removing
irrelevant verbiage that does not justify the cost to our
members
- Membership — this committee will work on improving member
benefits and identify other ways to enhance member
participation
- Alternative Work Schedule — this committee will work on the
best way to bring back or improve alternative work schedules like
compressed work week and look for a way to bring telecommuting to
all our members
- Organizing — this committee will work on ways to help
organize all our members and help to keep our members informed and
active
This is just the beginning!
I welcome any and all assistance in this endeavor.
Please reach out to me if you are interested in joining any
of these committees.
During this transition period, I am the only one in the
office and I have to spend a great deal of time in the field meeting
with members and addressing their concerns. If you do not wish to
leave a voice message, you can call the White Collar Division at
(212)815-1060.
Together we can make this the most feared Local Union in the
City of New York!
In Solidarity,
Laura Pirtle Morand
