Latest from Duke on agreements with management for those laid off

Today in L/M we signed an agreement turning the draft list into a list that starts from the bottom and loops when it reaches the last estimated lay-off candidate (to be reassessed if things change) i.e., only those slated to be laid off will receive drafts.  This change will last until Dec. 31.

Admin said they would continue covering paramedic school costs; would have no problem sponsoring guys who might neeed a sponsor to recert if they don't have one.
 
They will attempt to assign the probie medics to medic spots so they get paid full medic pay.  Currently assigned pms wouold have to be displaced until 12/31. (No details.)

Official lay-off date per the mayor is 12/30.  Admin will take care of any shifts owed after that date---no deducts for unworked shifts.
 
More when we know more.

p.s. On negots:  we have agreed to meet again on Friday, 10/29, to see if we can achieve settlement.
