Volunteer Job Union Stewart

As a Volunteer job for the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) American Labor Union. I attend meetings with the higher management of the union organization. Present and keep updated about the complaint representation, the resolution, progress, and if the complaint needed a higher approach for further investigation. As a Union Stewart, I investigated employees' complaints and represent civilian employees regarding their benefits and privilege for unfair labor practices, not given the right compensation from their employers denying the benefits and privileges the employees were entitled to. I investigate the complaint, by interviewing employees about their complaints, and gathering information, using the keywords: who, what, when, where, why, and how. Do research, investigate, and analyze the complaint; such as the unfair treatment, and negotiate with the employer or just to correct the issue of the complaint. Issues I investigated were issues such as promotion selection, wage or salary entitlement upon promotion, pay raises, or adjustments reflecting the time in service of the employees, and if the employer is fair in giving the employee the correct pay adjustment upon promotion. For instance, an employee's current grade is GS-03 and his current hourly rate was 7.50 and when he got promoted to GS-04 his new step increase or hourly rate should be higher from 7.50 to 8.50, and not retain his previous rate of 7.50 but his new promotion rate of 8.50. Another example: Holiday pay. An employee is a full-time permanent, and time in service are his entitlement rights; this employee went on vacation, and during his traveling;the employer denied his holiday pay because he was on vacation and not performing his job; I corrected this because the employee is full-time and he got years in service and permanent even though he was not performing his duty at the time he was traveling on vacation but he was still entitled of the holiday pay; his permanent position and length in service rights still entitled him for a paid holiday regardless. It would be different if an employee who is 4

a temporary hire and still on probation period has limited or no rights of employment privilege during his probational period of employment until he fulfilled his position as a full-time permanent.

This one is my case; bumping rights. I represent myself. The base was on closure, and realignment, I just got promoted to GS-7 and I was doing this job even when I was in a lower grade.

Reorganization and realignment on the base closure; employees retiring or being relocated out of state. The remaining employees were being moved around from one department to the other. An accounts payable employee whose grade is GS-6 and whose job was an accounts payable in particular, whereas myself has three tasks, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and a trial balance report technician. During the reorganization period, the GS-06 that was being transferred or will be moved and transferred into the department where I was, will bump me attaining the grade and tasking which she has no rights, and the bumping right was improper because I have the seniority rights being that I have more time in service and task than this GS-6 does not have. I escalated a complaint to the Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) office; thereby the movement of employees was stopped and I get to remain in my position as a trial balance technician and still maintain my seniority rights. My foreclosure case. I use my experience, knowledge and techniques, and training method as a Union Stewart in investigating the foreclosure action against my property; it was determined by the Attorney General's Office and the Supreme Court in Florida that my case had to be appealed. I took initiative and effort with intensive research to investigate the transaction of the Mortgage loan closing documents. Hours and days were all the time left in finding out why I was foreclosed when I was paying my mortgage. But it is worth the effort, comprehensive research of the statute, ruling of the foreclosure action, procedures, and guidelines to find out that the appeal is the last option to uncover what the banks did with the help of the closing agents that indeed by the Attorney General has said that my foreclosure case needed to be appealed. It was such hectic work I did, separating each of the loan closing documents by their own stipulation, terms, guidelines, procedures, and statute; and not any of the foreclosing officials, agents, or bank institution had stopped to verify and clarify anything pertinent to any compliances and laws.

Examine, review, evaluate, read, analyze, and perform intensive research; audit the documents until I find discrepancies, errors, and omissions by the closing agents of the Mortgage Loan. I then further escalated a complaint with the AG’s office and it was determined that my case has to be appealed.
