Dry Mouth Relief: Managing a Common but Uncomfortable Condition

Dry mouth, medically known as xerostomia, occurs when salivary glands don't produce enough saliva to keep the mouth moist. While often overlooked, this condition affects millions of people and can significantly impact quality of life, oral health, and overall well-being. Fortunately, various relief options can help manage symptoms and restore comfort.

What Causes Dry Mouth?

Dry mouth can result from numerous factors:

• Medications - over 400 drugs list dry mouth as a side effect, including antihistamines, antidepressants, and blood pressure medications

I was curious if anyone has heard of when we will be getting our uniform allowance? Considering NEATS System is going down for maintenance for PP-08 and PP-09. We are required to submit them ahead of time as per state payroll.

I apologize to beat a dead horse at this point about the 12's but I've been told that we're supposed to have our answer on the 18th of this month. If we do win the arbitration for it my only concern is if it will be honored. Since back in May when we won our CBA and the legislation just threw everything out and they were never held accountable for not honoring our good faith bargaining. I along with many other officers super hopeful that we do win this and everyone can enjoy their healthy work life balance again. Thank you guys for everything you do and I'm hoping good news!!

Not sure if any other institutions are having this issue but a whole lot of NNCC yard has huge payroll losses. Pers nerly doubled for a lot of us and I personally was shorted around 9 dollars and hour on my paid regular pay.

Not to mention last pay period a lot of us were charged double insurance... Graveyard has notified shift command and they will be contacting HR since admin doesn't want us bombarding HR with a bunch of separate emails. We all have bills to pay and I personally now need to probably borrow money with interest for something I SHOULD have in my bank.... How is this ok? Anybody have any word on what Payroll is gonna do about this? If so please let me know so I can stop internally raging about it.

I was wondering if anyone can help me out a bit. Shift command removed me from my post which was an exempt post. That I really don't care about, but don't I then get to pick what post I can go to based on what is available? I know that was done before, so I just want to make sure my information is accurate. I looked through the CBA but didn't see much about it. Is there anything in the CBA, or any kind of NAC or NRS about it?

Thank you very much!

I know this was brought up during the meeting, OSHA and heat conditions. This finally got done.

So, since the state and governor are still trying to make sleights at us and seemingly every other union in the state what's FOPs next steps? It seems like the state and the governor don't want us to have anything despite the hard work that was put in during collective bargaining. We all appreciate the dedication and work you guys put in beyond belief, without you guys I wouldn't be here along with many other officers.

Any update on getting 12's back? I haven't heard any updates since early March. Last I heard was, a judgement was to be made within 45 days. If possible, can we get an update on the current status?
