Parole wins out-of-title grievance
Division 236 members in the state Division of Parole (DOP) received a favorable
outcome after filing an out-of-title grievance nearly two years ago.
According to Richard Mata, a PEF Executive Board representative for DOP, four or
five facility parole officers were pulled from their prison positions in the
Rochester area and assigned to work in the field.
Mata said some officers received over-time pay, others straight-time. But they
were all working out-of-title.
“This is just another example of managers doing things whether it’s right or
wrong, knowing it takes considerable time to have these matters decided by
others,” Mata said.
An Article 17, or out-of-title, grievance undergoes a high level of scrutiny and
is a lengthy process. The employer or agency and the Governor’s Office of
Employee Relations review the grievance and a decision is handed down after a
review from the state director of classification and compensation.
The agency rejected the grievance, but PEF appealed and won. The decision was
announced in late July.
“This is a wonderful and just outcome,” said Manuelita Clemente, Division 236
council leader. “It is also another example of how the agency believes it is
running properly, when in actuality it is not.”
