Non-Bargaining Unit Employees. The City recognizes that Appendix A (Bargaining Unit Classifications) represents positions assigned exclusively to this bargaining unit. The City will agree that full-time equivalent (FTE) positions that are in the bargaining unit may not be underfilled by a Municipal Worker (MW) unless otherwise provided in this section. Situations where seasonal, temporary or emergency work is required to supplement the agency workload, seasonal employees or MW's may be used to perform said work. MW's can only be used to perform unskilled duties as identified by Civil Service Rules, or where identified by Memorandum of Understanding with the Union. It is recognized that MW's have been used to fill in for skilled entry level clerical duties. It is agreed that, recognizing the need to complete work, MW's cannot be used to temporarily underfill in an entry level clerical position longer than thirty (30) days; if an examination is required, the time is extended until three (3) weeks after posting of the eligibility list. MW's may not exceed fifteen hundred sixty (1560) hours. When a MW reaches the 1560 hour limit within a twelve (12} month period, unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the Agency and AFSCME, such employee must either be laid off or hired by the Agency as a full-time employee. If a MW is laid off within a twelve (12} month period because he reached the 1560 hour limit, he/she shall not be re-hired as an MW until after the anniversary date of his/her first hire. If an Agency re-hires an MW who has reached the 1560 hour limit before the expiration of the twelve (12} month period, the MW shall be hired as an unskilled full- time employee within two (2) pay periods of the date of re-hire. For the purposes of this Article, "12 month period" begins on the date of the MW's first hire. If an Agency is currently using or perceives a need to use MW's in a manner other than specified in this Article, the Agency must open discussion with AFSCME and present the reasons. If AFSCME and the Agency cannot reach agreement regarding the body of work, the work will be suspended until a mutual agreement is obtained, unless the Division or Department Head declares an emergency and has offered any higher-paying work to bargaining unit members prior to assigning work to MWs. The parties will continue to meet to reach mutual agreement with recognition that the Union can grieve the matter if mutual agreement is not reached. The City will notify AFSCME every 120 days of the name, nature of work, location and hours worked by MW's in all Agencies. No temporary, seasonal or MW's will perform work that is normally performed by the bargaining unit where such replacement will cause loss of a job or loss of scheduled or callout overtime opportunities, or where overtime is an extension of the bargaining unit employees' normal shift, except as provided in this Article. AFSCME acknowledges that the City may, from time to time, use contract employees to supplement work on a temporary, as needed basis. The City agrees, work normally performed by employees in the bargaining unit covered classifications shall not be contracted or subcontracted temporarily unless there are insufficient employees within the Agency to perform the necessary work, or bargaining unit covered employees do not have the skill, ability, technical knowledge, or necessary tools and equipment to perform such work. The City agrees any temporary contracting or subcontracting shall not result in layoff, reduction in pay or position of bargaining unit covered employees, the circumventing of any provision of this Agreement or depleting the bargaining unit. Temporarily contracted work normally performed by employees in the bargaining unit which extends beyond one hundred twenty (120) days shall be reported to AFSCME for review of impact on bargaining unit employees. The Agency will meet with AFSCME upon request.
