Fairness Committee Clause Samples
A Fairness Committee clause establishes a designated group or body responsible for overseeing and ensuring that decisions or actions taken under an agreement are impartial and equitable to all parties involved. Typically, this committee may review disputes, assess proposed changes, or evaluate the fairness of certain transactions, such as in mergers or acquisitions. By providing an independent mechanism for review, the clause helps prevent conflicts of interest and promotes trust among parties by ensuring that key decisions are made transparently and fairly.
Fairness Committee. Employees in each division covered by this Agreement shall be supported by a FC comprised of bargaining unit, non-bargaining unit and managerial employees whose joint responsibility is to act as resources in the Concern Resolution Process. There shall, where feasible, be one FC member for each department or work area and shift. FC members who are in the bargaining unit shall be chosen by the Employees in that department or work area and shift by secret ballot vote. The FC role shall be posted by the EA on employee bulletin boards for five (5) business days spanning two (2) different workweeks prior to the secret ballot vote. Applicants for a FC position shall indicate their interest by signing up for the role with the Employee Advocate. The secret ballot vote for FC members shall be conducted under the direction of the Employee Advocate and existing members of the FC, provided that such FC members are not candidates in the process. To be eligible to become a FC member, employees must have achieved seniority status and must demonstrate a commitment to the principles and ideals of the Framework of Fairness Agreement. FC members shall serve a three (3) year term, subject to continuing to meet eligibility criteria. Notwithstanding this three (3) year term, the FC in each facility shall initially be established so that the term of 1/3rd of the members shall expire each year. Each FC shall select one (1) facilitator from its bargaining unit members, one (1) facilitator from its non-bargaining unit members and one (1) facilitator from its management members. The methodology for selecting the facilitators shall be determined by the respective FC members. Once selected, the facilitator shall continue to perform this role until the expiration of his or her term, or until he or she otherwise chooses to cease acting as facilitator. A FC member may be removed by the ERRC for breaching the FC Guidelines.
Fairness Committee. Employees in each Division covered by the FFA shall be supported by a Fairness Committee (“FC”). The purpose of the Fairness Committee is to act as a resource in the Concern Resolution Process in each facility, and to work to build a positive and productive work environment within their Division. The Fairness Committee (FC) will consist of:
a) Members selected by employees from each department or work area, and shift; and
b) Members appointed by plant management, including managers or supervisors. The Employee Advocate may participate in any Fairness Committee activities as an ex-officio member. The non-managerial members will constitute at least 50 percent plus one of the members of the Fairness Committee. The requirements and qualifications for elected Fairness Committee representatives, and the process for their election, is described in Appendix B. FC members shall perform their FC duties on non-work time, with the exception of attending FC meetings, formal hearings, and dealing with issues in extenuating circumstances. A FC member who must carry out his or her duties during working hours shall require supervisor approval prior to leaving his or her production duties. The FC can review issues that concern the application of the National Agreement to non- probationary Employees. The FC cannot directly change Magna policies or procedures or the provisions of the FFA or the National Agreement, however, their decisions may influence future management reviews or collective bargaining. Other matters beyond the scope of review of the FC include pay and benefit rates and employment terminations. Resolution of issues relating to the termination of employment shall begin at the Hotline step of the Concern Resolution Process. While some Fairness Committee members are also members of the Union, they are not union representatives nor does their role include the representation of employees.
