Latest Information Regarding the NYSCOPBA Poll.
The vast majority of lifeguards have not received a ballot. Calls have been made to NYSCOPBA and we have been informed that 1200 ballots were sent out last Tuesday.
We have been informed that the database being used by NYSCOPBA is updated by NYS PARKS on a regular basis. If NYS Parks has your correct address, then NYSCOPBA should also have it.
We do not have contact information on the non-JBLC lifeguards. It is up to us to carry the ball and vote overwhelmingly to leave NYSCOPBA and join UUP.
Why has it taken so long? Why are mostly newer guards the only ones receiving the ballot? No answers to those questions.
We have created our own replacement ballot. It will be available on-line at http://www.jblifeguard.org & http://www.freejblc.net for downloading on Wednesday. We want to give the USPS a fair opportunity to deliver all our ballots to us before we send in alternates.
The replacement ballot will have a place for your name, address and work location as well as a signature. The original ballot only requires a signature.
We would like to assume that NYSCOPBA is in fact conducting an honest valid poll of the lifeguards to finally prove that we wish to leave them and move on to UUP. The intermittent pace of arrival and those receiving the ballots creates an air of unease. Let us not get caught up in a sense of frustration.
We will continue to monitor the situation and report back to you.
Remember to contact your Beach Representative when you receive your ballot.
Reminder: A very important meeting will be held Thursday March 27th at 6:30pm. The meeting will be at NYSUT HQ, located at the Jericho Atrium, 500 N. Broadway, Suite 123, Jericho, NY. This meeting will be utilized exclusively to telephone lifeguards and insure that they have received a ballot and to convince them to vote to leave NYSCOPBA and join UUP (NYSUT).
Please join us on Thursday, March 27th!
Your Executive Board
President- Tom Donovan 1st Vice President- Bruce Meriowitz 2nd Vice President- Dennis Kane Recording Secretary- Don Campbell JB Trustee- Cary Epstein RM Trustee- Jim Dirico East End Trustee- Nick Athenas Treasurer- Rob Corrnachia Trustee At Large- Matt Lindbom

Has anyone looked into calling the facilities of the other lifeguard groups - such as NYC, I know there is RiverBank State Park in Manhattan. I think we should do that.
