SUBJECT: Public Demonstrations by Employees
TO: All Department and Agency Heads
FROM: Lanning S. Mosher, Director
The Maine State Employees Association has announced plans to conduct
public demonstrations
in the Capitol Complex on March 13, 1975. Other employee organizations may,
from time to
time, conduct similar demonstrations-.
The policy concerning time off for such demonstrations will be the same as stated in OSER-7, dated February 24, 1975, which dealt specifically with the announcement by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees for a demonstration on March 18, 1975. Any deviations from this general policy will be covered in special memoranda.
The State's policy remains:
Employee requests for time off to participate in such demonstrations should be treated as requests for time off charged against annual leave credits. Administrative leave (release from work without charge to accrued credits) is not available for such purposes. Requests for time off should be submitted in advance and supervisors may approve such requests provided that the resulting absence will not interfere with the operational requirements of the department.
