CONTRACTING AND SUBCONTRACTING OF WORK. Notwithstanding the provisions of ORS. 243.650 to 243.782, the Union recognizes that the City shall have the right to make and to implement decisions relative to the contracting and subcontracting of work as it may determine; however, before the City may contract work presently and regularly performed by members of the bargaining unit and provided such contracting will result in the layoff or demotion of current members of the bargaining unit, the following shall occur:
1. The Union shall be notified in writing at least seventy (70) calendar days in advance of the proposed implementation of such subcontracting. Such notification shall include a detailed analysis of the likely impact on the bargaining unit, and shall also outline the projected financial impact and other considerations that the City has deemed are pertinent to its deliberations to contract or subcontract work.
2. Upon receipt of such notice, the Union shall have twenty (20) calendar days in which to notify the City of its desire to meet and discuss the subcontracting. The Union may propose changes in existing work rules, benefits, and/or wage rates in order to compete more effectively with the contractors or subcontractors and/or the Union may propose alternative staffing arrangements that it believes would reduce the impact of the contracting or subcontracting. The City shall not finalize a decision to contract or subcontract such work until after it has afforded the Union the opportunity to meet as provided above. The City shall give full consideration to all timely Union proposals before a decision is finalized. If such work is to be contracted or subcontracted, the City agrees to transfer or demote employees to any available vacant positions rather than lay off employees whenever it is feasible to do so; provided the employee meets the minimum qualifications with respect to education and work experience for the position to which he/she is to be transferred or demoted to, and provided that no employee rights or benefits under Article 17 - Layoff are abridged. A demotion shall be defined as involuntary reassignment to a new classification with a lower paying maximum salary rate.
