In our ongoing efforts to stop NYCHA from eliminating your contractually guaranteed 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m. schedules, we filed an action in New York Supreme Court today seeking to stop NYCHA from make any changes in your schedules until the new York City Office of Collective Bargaining (OCB) holds a hearing and decides our charge that NYCHA’s proposed changes violate the law.

We are pleased to report that New York Supreme Court Justice Kathryn Freed agreed with our position and signed a temporary restraining order requiring that NYCHA:

  1. Not implement the FlexOps program, or any new work schedules for Local 237’s members; and

  2. Stop telling employees that they will be required to work new schedules under the FlexOps program; and

  3. Not threaten, otherwise discipline, or take any negative actions against any 237 members in connection with their refusal to work any new schedule.

The temporary restraining order is in place until May 11th, at which time Justice Freed will hold a hearing on Local 237’s request for an injunction pending the completion of the improper practices procedure at the OCB.

If you believe that NYCHA is violating any part of this order, please contact Local 237’s Housing Division at 212-924-2000.
