Xxxxxxx: In 2015, the parties agreed to Letter of Agreement 15-07 and by doing so created a career path for the Towerman classification (Code 50010430) to move into the General Construction (GC) Line of Progression. This career path was then updated with the language of Letter of Agreement 17-40 which eliminated the Pre-Apprentice Lineworker classification. Following the implementation of the above agreements, the parties have recognized a need to clarify the bidding rights from the Towerman position to GC Apprentice Lineman (Code 50449567). Specifically, the two prior agreements noted that top of the rate Towermen will be released from the five-year lock provided for in Letter of Agreement 07-33 to bid to Title 300 General Construction Apprentice Lineworker positions. Going forward, the parties agree that the above release from the Letter of Agreement 07-33 lock to bid is only to those GC Apprentice Lineman positions in the Electric Transmission organization. The employee will no longer be released from the provisions of Letter of Agreement 07-33 to bid to Title 300 GC Line positions in distribution. All other terms and conditions of Letters of Agreement 15-07 and 17-40 are to remain in effect in regard to the Towerman position. If you agree, please so indicate in the space provided below and return one executed copy of this letter to the Company.

Xxxxxxx: The implementation of Letter of Agreement 17-40 updated the Apprentice Lineman program. Since then, the parties continue to meet regularly to evaluate the Apprentice Lineman program and develop improvements as necessary. During these evaluations, it has become apparent that the program needs to improve the process for employees entering the apprenticeship. Currently, employees are required to attend the Company’s Three-Day Climbing Course prior to reporting to the positions. However, the current requirement is only to complete the course. Based on input from the above review, this Agreement proposes to establish a requirement to pass the above Three-Day Climbing Course prior to entry into the Apprentice Lineman or Apprentice Lineman – GC positions. The new requirement to successfully complete the course will be effective with those internal bidders, including those awarded the positions through an Unrestricted Award, who are beginning the apprenticeship on August 1, 2019, or later. An internal bidder who is unsuccessful at the Three-Day Climbing Course will be bypassed for that specific job award. However, the employee will be provided one additional opportunity to successfully complete the course should he or she receive an additional Apprentice Lineman bid or award. If you agree, please so indicate in the space provided below and return one executed copy of this letter to the Company. Very truly yours, PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY The Union is in agreement.
