Common use of MULTI-SKILLED CREWS Clause in Contracts

MULTI-SKILLED CREWS. The Company and Unions agree that multi-skilled crews consisting of one qualified electric journeyman and one qualified gas journeyman may be used to install residential underground electric and gas services where both utilities are being installed on the same property at the same time. The parties agree that they will assist each other in the expedient performance of work to the extent that it can be done safely. Employees working on multi-skilled crews will receive the basic training necessary to assist each other in performing the assigned work. The beginning point on electrical service work will be limited to pedestals and pad-mount transformers. Electric and gas department Journeymen will express their interest annually (posted for seven (7) days) in being assigned to these crews when needed. If no journeymen express interest in this work, the least senior journeymen in the appropriate department will be trained and assigned to this crew. By expressing interest or being assigned, the employee is committed to work on this crew as needed for one (1) year, unless he moves to another position or department which is not eligible for this work. Training and assignments will be made from this interest list based on department seniority. Once assignments are made, they will remain in effect unless there is an absence or vacancy on the crew which the Company desires to fill. Assignments will last a minimum of five (5) consecutive work days, except that the five (5) day minimum does not apply to employees who fill in on this crew. A premium will be paid to employees working on multi-skilled crews such that they will receive the equivalent of their respective Crew Leader's rate. This premium will apply to all hours paid from the start of the first day to the end of the last day of this assignment, with a minimum of five (5) days. When these crews encounter situations that require additional help, it will be provided. This agreement may be modified to include work other than services if mutually agreed to by the Company and Union(s) involved. In those areas where the gas work is not entirely handled by an IBEW Local Union, this agreement is subject to concurrence by the appropriate gas unions.
