To answer questions related to APS’s position regarding working objectives for 2011-2012 period, we wish to remind our members about our action undertaken last spring. APS had asked its members to refrain from participating in the annual performance evaluation review covering the 2010-2011; we are referring, of course, to the meeting with the immediate supervisor. There was never a call to abstain from fixing working objectives for the year 2011-2012.
In fact we are hoping for a better response from the employer for next year’s salary increases. We should know towards the end of winter 2012 at which time we will examine our options. Until then, activities related to the performance evaluation system remain as usual including the negotiation of working objectives with the immediate supervisor for the current year.
