SEIU Local 1000 Board of Directors Meeting

June 25-26, 2016

Agenda Item: 5 (A)

Subject: Recommendation of the CompensationCommittee

Submitted by: William Hall, Compensation Committee Chair

Recommended Action:

That the Board adopt the recommendation of the CompensationCommittee, including the following amendments to the Policy File:

3.1.00 FULL TIME LOCAL 1000 STATEWIDE OFFICERS

(a) Union Leave for the Local 1000 statewide officers:Local 1000 shall

secure union leave for the Local 1000 statewide officers.

(b) Should union leave not be available, Local 1000 shall pay directly to

the Local 1000 statewide Officers the State salary the statewide officer

would have drawn while on union leave, including any scheduled State

salary adjustments during their term of office. In addition, Local 1000

shall pay the cost of any benefits that would have been paid by the State

employer for the period of union leave.

(c) Presidents stipend: The President shall be compensated an amount atleast equal to the one thousandth highest-paid state employee represented

by our union. The President shall be paid her or his State salary, consistentwith paragraph (b) above, however, if the annualized salary of the onethousandth highest-paid state employee represented by our union duringthe prior month exceeds the Presidents annual State salary, the President

shall be paid a stipend equal to the difference between her or his Statesalary and the annualized salary of the one thousandth highest-paid stateemployee represented by our union.

(d) Stipends for the other three statewide officers: Local 1000s three otherstatewide officers shall be compensated an amount at least equal to fifteenpercent less than the one thousandth highest-paid state employeerepresented by our union. Statewide officers shall be paid their State salary,consistent with paragraph (b) above, however, if fifteen percent less thanthe annualized salary of the one thousandth highest-paid state employeerepresented by our union during the prior month exceeds the statewideofficers Statesalary, that statewide officer shall be paid a stipend equal tothe difference between her or his State salary and fifteen percent less thanthe annualized salary of the one thousandth highest-paid state employee

represented by our union.

Background:

The four statewide officers of Local 1000 work long hours and areresponsible for oversight of our unions resources, staff, and operationalfunctions. The officers are on full-time union leave and forego promotionalopportunities that are available to other state workers, causing a disruptionto their promotional and earning potential over time. While the officers

continue to receive their State salaries, these amounts fail to adequatelycompensate them for the long hours and significant responsibilities theyundertake as officers of a statewide labor organization representing 95,000

workers and managing an annual budget in excess of $64 million.

It is within the purview of the Board of Directors to establish acompensation philosophy and to determine a reasonable level ofcompensation for our statewide officers. In setting and approving thecompensation of our officers, the Board of Directors has reviewed the

Compensation Committee Report, including the salaries paid to leaders ofcomparable organizations that are considered to be among Local 1000speer group in order to set an appropriate level of comparison.

By adopting this motion, the Board of Directors establishes a compensationphilosophy that the President and the other statewide officers should be


9/24

paid comparably to leaders in Local 1000s peer group who fulfill similarroles and responsibilities.

By adopting this philosophy, the Board of Directors recognizes that thereare wide differences between the State salaries drawn by Local 1000members in different bargaining units and classifications. This approach

will better enable all members to hold statewide officer positions and carryout the responsibilities associated with the office whether they are modestlyor highly compensated in their career with the State.

This change to the Policy File helps close the gap between thecompensation our statewide officers receive for their activity on behalf ofour union and the compensation paid to persons who perform similaractivities on behalf of comparable organizations. Compensation paid to our

statewide officers shall be their State salary, plus a stipend in an amountnecessary to bring their income to the same level as the one thousandthhighest-paid state employee represented by our union, for the President,and fifteen percent less than the one thousandth highest-paid stateemployee represented by our union, for the other three statewide officers.

Estimated Cost:Total annual cost is approximately $143,102.1

TitleMonthlyStipend

AnnualAmount

President $4,903 $58,838

Vice President / Secretary-Treasurer $1,392 $16,708

Vice President for Organizing / Representation $4,262 $51,148

Vice President for Bargaining $1,367 $16,408

Local 1000 Action:

1This amount is for our current statewide officers. In future years, this amount may varydepending on who is elected to hold statewide office and their respective classification.Furthermore, complying with federal and state taxes and other such regulatoryrequirements may result in a slightly higher cost to our union than what is listed above.For example, if the statewide officersstipends are subject to payroll taxes, our unionwill have an additional 7.65 percent expense for Medicare and Social Security taxes.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING

June 25 - 26, 2016

Agenda Item: 5 (B)

SUBJECT: Opposition to North Carolinas House Bill 2

SUBMITTED BY: Mike Roskey, President DLC 767

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That Local 1000 support repeal of North Carolinas House Bill 2 and support actions

taken to sanction the State of North Carolina while its provisions remain in effect.

BACKGROUND:

North Carolinas House Bill 2, the Public Facilities Privacy & Security Act will:

Prevent minimum wage ordinances of localities and counties from superseding state laws.

With big money in politics, local initiatives are often the only way to get the voice of

working people heard. A living wage is a priority for our union.

Add significant new procedural hurdles to discrimination complaints.

Its almost impossible to win discrimination complaints as it is. Our union opposes

discrimination.

Preempt municipalities in the state from adopting their own ordinances to protect the civil

rights of gay and transgender people.

Again, big money, big politics vs. the people. The city of Charlotte voted these civil

rights earlier this year.

Require people in public schools and government buildings to use restrooms and

changing facilities consistent with their biological sex, as listed on their birth

certificates.

Enemies of working people have always succeeded by sowing suspicion and fear by

some against others. Or by promoting reasons for some to feel superior to others. There

has been no credible evidence brought forward of transgender women assaulting women

in womens public bathrooms. Our union opposes divide and conquer tactics.

After Governor McCrory signed the law, PayPal and Deutsche Bank abandoned

expansion plans in the state because of the measure. The companies planned to employ

hundreds of people in North Carolina, and state officials said these expansions wouldhave brought millions of dollars to local economies.

The National Basketball Association will move the All-Star Game from Charlotte nextseason if the law is not changed, while tourism agencies have said the legislation has cost

the state millions in lost businessand possibly much more depending on how many

groups cancel events..
