Common use of Contracting Within the RCA Clause in Contracts

Contracting Within the RCA. As of the date of a proposed layoff, contracting within the impacted RCA shall be discontinued to the extent necessary to avoid the laying off of Regular employees if there are any employees in the Adjustment Group who have the training and skills to perform such work. Work that was previously performed within a job title shall be brought back within the job title. This does not preclude the Company from initiating an Article 6 job evaluation on a work function. No later than fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the resolution date the Company shall provide the Union a list of contractors who are performing work previously performed by represented employees in the impacted RCA. The list shall include the type and amount of work they perform in the RCA. Work that must be returned in accordance with this subsection will be returned under the following guidelines: (a) Work previously performed within a job title shall be returned and assigned to employees in the adjustment group with the skills and training to perform such work. (b) If the returned work, as outlined in subsection (a), does not resolve the surplus, work previously performed outside of the title shall be offered to the impacted employees that have the skills and training to perform the work. However, if the returned work will create an opportunity for an upgrade, the Company will offer returned work to employees in the Adjustment Group that have the skills and training to perform the work. The local union shall assist in the identification of non-impacted employees who would be interested in such an opportunity. The fact that expense may be incurred shall not be a factor in returning the work unless it imposes a significant start-up expense or investment requirement (e.g. purchasing a backhoe, test set, trencher, or a mini-sneak would not be considered significant).
