USCIS January 2013 Labor Management Forum
USCIS District 14 Management and Union had a very productive January LMF meeting on January 17. Some highlights:
* Ground rules include rotating bargaining unit members and supervisors into the meetings so everyone will have the chance to participate. Look for management to solicit for volunteers in the near future.
* LMF Meetings will typically occur on the second Thursday of the month from 10:30-11:30 a.m. Please contact your union rep if you have an item you'd like to see on the agenda.
* Our joint goals are to improve our office, increase transparency, and increase trust between employees and management.
* Management proposes to institute a voluntary District Mentoring Program, an Individual Development Plan campaign, and a District Survey.
* The union asked for a report of the current demographics of the District.
* Management will provide an informational notice and begin allowing 30 minutes to conduct each naturalization interview instead of the current 20 minutes.
We hope everyone will become involved as these LMF meetings continue. We are making great strides toward a more cooperative relationship with management and welcome your input.
