Local 436
The local is made up of 10 counties within the Western
New York area. The consolidation of Craig
DDSO, Monroe DC and Newark DDSO created Local
436. The local consists of Community based
homes, developmental center, Regional Intensive
Treatment Center, Intensive Treatment Center and a
Crisis Unit in Elmira.
Local 436 has also developed some new programs
that are member driven. Each worksite has the
availability to them to develop their own local
agreements at their worksite or cluster. Many
of the agreements they have agreed to are: vacation
time off, holiday's, schedules overtime rosters, ect.
The local has agreed to their agreement along with
management and have copies printed on OMRDD
news so that all members are aware of the agreements
before bidding on those work locations. The
members take pride in their area's and make sure
that the agreements are followed because they have
invested their time and have ownership.
The local's labor management committee is made up
of our stewards and contact members of the worksites.
They are able to bring direct information to the
table because they are hands on at their jobs,
majority of the day to day issues are resolved at
the cluster meetings, major issues are discussed on
a monthly basis.
