USW said this displaced SSAs from the duties. Article 8 Non-Unit Hourly Employees. Executive Directors said Elevo has “extra hours” to use up. They agreed to stop this. On June 9, USW was made aware that Elevo was still at arrival and dismissal of busses. Pre-Grievance Meeting. Summer BLAST Program was over on June 19. On June 11, they shifted the SSAs three-hour consistent three-hour schedule to one hour in the morning and then come back for two hours. We felt this was retaliation.
