5. LCRR Update. On advice of counsel, CREA issued ultimatum that if management did not change course and resume negotiation, ULP would be filed. They have agreed to continue negotiation and reinstate previous, more flexible system for shift assignment. Telework details still being worked out. Consultative management meeting to be held 30 days before expiration of current system to discuss how to move forward.
5. Smoking at Library. Unions now suggesting the alcove in the NW corner of Madison remain open for smoking, and a bench be placed at the SW corner. Library wants neither. Unions considering mediation, arguing that pushing people out to the sidewalk won’t solve the perceived problem.

Recommendations include painting reception areas of divisions different color, adding art or accents to reception areas and conference rooms. CREA will continue to monitor and respond to any potential changes in working conditions.
