Payroll deduction issues resolution

Good evening Brothers and Sisters,

Dallas County Payroll issues and dues

Due to salary issues with the County Payroll Department, too much money was deducted from paychecks for several union dues. Our Local does not get direct payments from the county but rather the international receives the payments then the international returns our portion of the dues. Our local is willing to return excess dues to anyone who submits the pay stubs with the listed deductions over the regular dues amount. We have no verification of which members were affected with this problem. Our local will develop corrective procedures with payroll for ending over deductions.

RESPONSE TO DALLAS COUNTY CSCD REDUCTION IN FORCE

Dear USW / NTAPE Member,

Below is the response I am forwarding to the Interim Director Cooper and Deputy Director of Dallas County CSCD, as well as to serveral District Judges, regarding the lack of transparency in the Administration due to not following their own policy for reduction in force. During these uncertain times, the departmental employees deserve clarity and tranparency from its administration. All USW NTAPE 9487 members should know that the leadership is genuinely concerned about the future of our departments, but, more importantly, the future of our members.
