DEPARTMENT RULES AND REGULATIONS. The City retains the right to make reasonable modifications or amendments of work rules, and to adopt reasonable new work rules, but no modifications shall be made, and no such new work rules shall be adopted without prior written notice to the Union. For thirty (30) calendar days after such written notice, the Union shall have the right to discuss the work rules and provide input to the City if it so desires. In the event an agreement on the work rules is not reached through this discussion, and the Union contends that any such work rule or amendment or modification is unreasonable, it may file a grievance. In the event a grievance is filed by the Union, the grievance will automatically move to Step 3 of the Grievance process. If the Union does not file a grievance within seven (7) calendar days after the expiration of the 30-day discussion period, the matter shall be closed and the modification or new work rule will become effective. In the event the union grieves the reasonableness of the work rule, the City shall not implement the new work rule or modification of the existing work rule until the expedited grievance and/or arbitration is completed and the arbitrator has issued a decision. Furthermore, if modifications, amendments, or new work rules are proposed and are inconsistent with the existing contractual language, the existing contractual language shall supersede any proposed modification, amendment, or new work rule. The Union and the City will agree to a list of five (5) arbitrators to hear matters related to the reasonableness of work rules. The arbitrator will be selected by lot from this list until an arbitrator who is able to conduct the hearing within sixty (60) days is found. The arbitration hearing must be concluded within sixty (60) days of the conclusion of the negotiation period and the arbitrator must render a decision within thirty (30) calendar days thereafter. Transcripts of the hearing will be permitted, although each party must arrange to have the transcript expedited so as not to delay the process.
