134 Agreement
ARTICLE II RECOGNITION
Section
2.1.
The University recognizes the Union as the exclusive collective bargaining agency for all employees including seasonal and temporary employees working twenty (20) hours or more per week, male and female, who are employed in the Journeyman Electrician, Electrical Foreman or Fixture Cleaner classifications in the Facilities Services Department and the Journeyman Network Electrician and Network Electrician Foreman classifications in the Networking Services and Information Technologies Department.
Excluded from the bargaining unit are all supervisory employees (meaning thereby, employees having the right to hire or discharge), students, employees working less than 20 hours per week, salaried employees, professional employees and all other employees represented by collective bargaining agreements. The term "employee" or "employees" when used in the Agreement shall mean individuals for whom the Union is recognized as the bargaining agency in accordance with the provisions of the foregoing paragraph.
Section
2.2.
Work by Supervisors.
The University will not use supervisors to perform the normal duties of employees unless an emergency exists. Emergency is defined as an occurrence which endangers life, health or property and/or disrupts University Operations such as defined in the University's Emergency Management Plan. In addition, there may occasionally arise during the first day of unscheduled employee absence a special and pressing condition, which may require the active assistance of the appropriate supervisor. Throughout the term of this Agreement, the University will not use Foreman to perform the normal duties of employees except as defined in the current agreed-upon Foreman job description.
Section
2.3. Policy on Work Assignments and Contracting Out of Work.
|
A.
|
The University agrees not to contract out work normally performed by bargaining unit employees except for legitimate economic reasons. Should the University contemplate subcontracting work which has historically been performed by bargaining unit employees, and such subcontracting will result in the displacement of bargaining unit employees, such action shall be discussed with the Union prior to the implementation of such contract. During the course of this discussion, the University agrees, on request, to supply to the Union relevant data including subcontracting proposals and current costs for performance of the work in question. |
|
B.
|
The contracting out of work normally performed by employees within the bargaining unit is considered an appropriate topic for discussion in Labor-Management Conferences as provided in Article XXIII. |
|
C.
|
The foregoing subparagraph B, notwithstanding, grievances protesting subcontracting action taken by the University shall be subject to the grievance procedure including arbitration as provided in this Agreement. |
Section
2.4.
The University agrees not to use student employees to supplant regular full-time or part-time members of the bargaining unit. |
