The unilateral action taken by management to rewrite the Revenue Examiner and Tax Correction Examiner job specs will be reversed in short order. The “new” job specs are NOT in effect, there remains a voluntary system for bi-lingual assistance in DRS. This issue is currently at the bargaining table and the State is clearly aware of that. The action taken by DRS and DAS was clearly out-of-line, improper, and undermines the integrity of the on-going negotiation process.
Further, from A&Rs stand-point, there is a deeper issue to be addressed as there have been a series of highly questionable, unsupportable actions coming out of DRS Human Resources which have been repeatedly and swiftly rescinded as A&R pursues them.
We do want to thank the stewards at DRS (Janet Andrews, Tommy Smalls, Brittany Waller, Jamie Findley) who quickly responded to yet another uncalled for action coming out of DRS Human Resources.
