State Executive Board Meeting<br />
SEIU Local 526M, AFL-CIO<br />
May 31, 2005 and June 1, 2005<br />
The meeting of the State Executive Board was called to order by President Tom Tylutki at<br />
9:55 a.m. on Tuesday, May 31, 2005, at the MCO office in Lansing.<br />
Roll call was taken and the following were present: Tom Tylutki, Mel Grieshaber, John Ost,<br />
Scott Fischer, Andy Potter, Adam Douglas, Mike Taylor and Ray Sholtz. Jim Johnson was<br />
excused.<br />
The board discussed with counsel by telephone options and probabilities regarding the lawsuit<br />
on gender based assignments. Mel Grieshaber advised that the DOC will go forward with<br />
removing male officers from certain assignments in female prisons if the state should win<br />
or if the Supreme Court declines to hear the suit (which also would be a win for DOC since<br />
the Court of Appeals decision in the state's favor would stand).<br />
Bill Henderson arrived at 10:25 a.m.<br />
After review and discussion of the information provided by counsel, it was the consensus of<br />
the board that Mel Grieshaber and Tom Tylutki discuss possible settlement issues and<br />
report back to the board.<br />
