Contracting/Subcontracting. The Union recognizes that the City retains the right to contract and subcontract work as it determines; provided that as to work presently and regularly performed by members of the bargaining unit, the City agrees to afford an opportunity to the Union to meet and discuss the effect of such action on the employment level of its members prior to finalizing and implementing its decision. The City agrees to give consideration to alternatives such as work force reduction by attrition, transfers to open vacancies and preferential rehiring when such contracting action shall affect the employment level. Such considerations shall be within the City’s primary requirement to maintain broad authority over its operations in order to provide efficient and economic services to the citizens of the community.
