Fourth Step. If U1 is greater than or equal to U2, a standard known resistance (Ro) is inserted between the negative side of the high voltage bus and the electrical chassis. With Ro installed, the voltage (U1') between the negative side of the high voltage bus and the electrical chassis is measured (see Figure 5). The electrical isolation (Ri) is calculated according to the following formula: Ri = Ro*Ub*(1/U1' – 1/U1) Figure 5 Measurement of U1’ Electrical Chassis Energy Conversion System Assembly REESS High Voltage Bus + + Energy Conversion System - REESS - U1’ R0 Traction System Electrical Chassis If U2 is greater than U1, insert a standard known resistance (Ro) between the positive side of the high voltage bus and the electrical chassis. With Ro installed, measure the voltage (U2’) between the positive side of the high voltage bus and the electrical chassis (see Figure 6 below). The electrical isolation (Ri) is calculated according to the following formula: Ri = Ro*Ub*(1/U2’ – 1/U2) Figure 6 Measurement of U2’ U2’
Fourth Step. If the grievance has not been settled in the Third Step, the Association may appeal to arbitration by filing a Demand for Arbitration with the American Arbitration Association within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Third Step answer. The grievant may not appeal to arbitration without the written consent of the Association. All matters submitted to arbitration shall be submitted to the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its voluntary rules and regulations then obtaining within the time specified above and such rules shall govern the arbitration hearing. Both parties agree to be bound by the award of the arbitrator and that the costs of any arbitration proceeding under this provision shall be borne equally between the parties.
Fourth Step. If the grievance is not satisfactorily resolved at the third step, the grievance shall be submitted to the Board of Education to be considered in as timely a fashion as the schedule of Board meetings and the agendas therefore permit. The aggrieved and the grievance committee may present a written brief to the Board and Superintendent and may request an oral hearing on the grievance, which will be granted at the discretion of the Board.
Fourth Step. Within seven (7) working days after receiving the City Manager’s written decision the employee may submit the grievance for consideration by either, but not both, the Personnel Board or an arbitrator, subject, in each grievance submitted to arbitration, to the execution of “An Agreement for Arbitration” signed by the employee, the employee’s representative, if any, and the City Manager.
Fourth Step. If the grievance is not resolved satisfactorily at step three (3), there shall be available a fourth step of binding arbitration. The Association may submit, in writing, on behalf of the Association, a request to the Superintendent within thirty (30) business days from receipt of the Step Three answer to enter into such arbitration. The arbitrator shall be selected from the American Arbitration Association in a manner as follows: The Voluntary Labor Rules of the American Arbitration Association then pertaining shall be followed in the selection of an arbitrator. The cost of the arbitrator shall be borne equally between the Association and the School Board. Should either party request a transcript of the proceedings, that party will bear the cost of the transcript. Neither party to the grievance will be permitted to assert grounds not previously asserted before the Board of Education. Each party shall be entitled to representation and witnesses. The arbitrator’s authority shall be strictly limited to deciding only the issue or issues presented to him/her in writing by the parties, and his/her decision must be based solely upon his or her interpretation of the meaning or application of the express language of the Agreement. The arbitrator shall have no power to alter, amend, modify, nullify, ignore or add to the terms or provisions of the Agreement.
Fourth Step. If the answer of the Directors is not satisfactory, then the Executive Board (TFCA) and the employee will have 30 days as stated in the Third Step to call for a binding arbitration. The name of the arbitrator to be selected will be from a panel requested by the parties from the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. The City or the TFCA shall request a panel of seven (7) names from the FMCS. The parties shall select the arbitrator using the alternate strike off method. Within seven (7) days of the receipt of said panel, the City and Association shall strike names. In the event more than one grievance is referred to the same hearing, the costs of the arbitration shall be divided proportionately. All other expenses for witnesses or otherwise shall be borne by the party incurring the cost. However, any on-duty Department of Fire & Rescue Operations member called as a witness or as a representative by either side will continue to receive his regular rate of pay while attending such hearing, not to exceed the normal hours he would have been on duty.
Fourth Step. If U1 is greater than or equal to U2, insert a standard known resistance (Ro) between the negative side of the high voltage bus and the electrical chassis. With Ro installed, measure the voltage (U1’) between the negative side of the high voltage bus and the electrical chassis (see Figure 2). Calculate the electrical isolation (Ri) according to the following formula: Ri = Ro*Ub*(1/U1’ – 1/U1) Figure 2 Measurement of U1’ Electrical Chassis Energy Conversion System Assembly REESS Assembly High Voltage Bus + + Energy Conversion System - REESS Ub - U1´ Ro Traction System Electrical Chassis If U2 is greater than U1, insert a standard known resistance (Ro) between the positive side of the high voltage bus and the electrical chassis. With Ro installed, measure the voltage (U2’) between the positive side of the high voltage bus and the electrical chassis (see Figure 3). Calculate the electrical isolation (Ri) according to the formula shown. Divide this electrical isolation value (in Ω) by the nominal operating voltage of the high voltage bus (in volts). Calculate the electrical isolation (Ri) according to the following formula: Ri = Ro*Ub*(1/U2’ – 1/U2) Figure 3 Measurement of U2’ Electrical Chassis Energy Conversion System Assembly Ro REESS Assembly U2' High Voltage Bus + + Energy Conversion System - Traction System REESS - Electrical Chassis
Fourth Step. If the grievance is not settled following completion of the Third Step of the grievance procedure, the Teamsters may request binding arbitration. The request for binding arbitration must be submitted to the Human Resources Director, in writing, within ten (10) days of receipt of the response from Step Three. An arbitrator may be selected by mutual agreement of the County and the Teamsters. Should the parties fail to agree on an arbitrator, they shall make a joint request to the State Conciliation Service for a list of five (5) qualified arbitrators. The arbitrator shall be selected from the list by the parties alternately striking names, with the opportunity to strike determined by chance. All documentation supporting the parties’ positions shall be filed at least ten (10) days before the hearing with the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall not have power to alter, amend, change, add to, or subtract from any of the terms of this Memorandum of Understanding. The decision of the arbitrator shall be based solely upon the evidence and arguments presented to the arbitrator by the respective parties. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties. The cost of employing the arbitrator shall be borne equally by the parties. All other costs such as, but not limited to, attorney’s fees and witness fees shall be borne only by the party incurring that cost.
Fourth Step. The fourth salary step level may be granted to an employee who has proven to be fully satisfactory in a given classification for one (1) additional year of service from the granting of the previous salary step increase.
Fourth Step. If U1 is greater than or equal to U2, insert a standard known resistance (Ro) between the negative side of the high voltage bus and the electrical chassis. With Ro installed, measure the voltage (U1’) between the negative side of the high voltage bus and the electrical chassis (see Figure 2). Calculate the electrical isolation (Ri) according to the following formula: Ri = Ro*Ub*(1/U1’ – 1/U1) Figure 2
