Ames Federal Employees Union

AFEU has two agreements regarding EPCS (I believe there is a third in the works, our VP for Negotiations would know better) that you should be aware of when we enter the performance evaluation period.

The Record of Negotiations from 2004

The settlement from the 2005 Union Grievance

It would behoove you to read both so that you understand your rights under these agreements, and the appropriate articles of the main Contract would also be a good idea.

I strongly encourage employees to raise concerns but to sign their performance evaluation. The signature is simply stating receipt of the evaluation, not that you agree with the evaluation. Of course, you have 30 days to grieve (and 45 days to file with EEO, if appropriate).
