Barry Morgan, director of the U.S. Department of Labor’s Veterans’ Employment and Training Service in Albany, delivered a presentation during the DA on the rules employers must follow under the Uniformed Service Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). “The law is written with a slant toward the veteran,” Morgan said. He said the law protects union leaders from retaliation by their employer if they assist members who are trying to exercise their USERRA rights. Morgan’s appearance followed the approval of a resolution at the 2009 Winter DA that called on UUP to work with SUNY to ensure that employees leaving and returning from military service are subject to the same rights under USERRA. Delegates had questioned if campuses uniformly apply the law. If you are experiencing problems returning to work at your campus after serving in the military on guard or reserve duty, go to www.dol.gov/vets for more information. — Donald Feldstein |
