ABOUT LOCAL 1218 |
|
Local 1218 represents Wisconsin Deptartment of Natural Resource employees in Technical, Blue Collar, Security and Public Safety and Administrative Support classifications. It does not include Conservation Wardens. We negotiate wages, hours, and working conditions; and represent people who have a grievance with management.
Approximately 500 workers are represented by Local 1218. We are a democratically run membership organization. Semi-annual meetings are held in February and September. Chapter meetings are also typically held 2-3 times per year. The best way to ensure that the union represents your views is to become a member and participate in meetings. That’s where decisions are made. | | |

REPRESENTED EMPLOYEES RIGHTS |
|
| Every two years, Local 1218, representing WI DNR Employees (excluding Wardens) renegotiates a contract with the state. The agreement states what wages, benefits, rights, and responsibilities we have, and what rights and responsibilities management has. Both the union and the state are obliged to obey this agreement. If your supervisor violates our contract, you can file a grievance to force them to correct the problem. One of our rights under the contract is the right to file a grievance on work time and to have a steward present during any disciplinary or investigatory meeting with management if you believe disciplinary action may result from the meeting | | |

HOW TO CONTACT A STEWARD? |
|
| If you feel your contractual rights have been violated, tell your supervisor that you want to meet with your steward "about a possible grievance." Stewards are trained in the contract, and will be able to give your problem the attention it needs. Your supervisor doesn’t have the right to ask you why, and must set up a private meeting in a timely manner on work time (In paid status). Ideally, and whenever possible, these meetings should be scheduled for the next day after the request is made when both employees are scheduled to work. However, it is understood that this is not always possible due to real operational needs. If your supervisor tells you to set up the meeting yourself and says no steward is available, got to the Contact Us page and phone any of the Executive Officers for further instruction. The Contact Us page also lists Local 1218 stewards. | | |
