Common use of Oversight Committee Clause in Contracts

Oversight Committee. The Company and Unions agree to establish this committee to address issues that arise from the implementation of Alternative Reporting Location, Multi-Skilled Crews, and the Systems Response Strategy. In order for this committee to function as envisioned, the open exchange of information is required. This committee will be comprised of one (1) representative from each Local (51, 309, 702 and 649) and four (4) representatives from the Company. This committee will meet as needed and have the authority to resolve problems. Any party to this agreement may request a meeting of this committee. Any recommended changes to these agreements are subject to acceptance by the Company and affected Locals. It is recommended that this committee be comprised of people who were directly involved in the negotiation of the agreements listed above. In the event that the Oversight Committee cannot resolve an issue, it will enter the grievance procedure at the Four-Man Board step. Alternative dispute resolution methods may be utilized if mutually agreeable to the parties involved. MULTI-SKILLED CREWS The Company and Unions agree that multi-skilled crews consisting of one qualified electric journeyman and one qualified gas distribution 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 the IBEW, this agreement is subject to concurrence by the appropriate gas unions. Upon conclusion of a two (2) year trial period, Local 702 may terminate their participation in this agreement during the thirty (30) day window which immediately follows. If not cancelled at that time, this provision shall be null and void. Any issues that may arise will be addressed by the Oversight Committee. ALTERNATIVE REPORTING LOCATION Employees in the line, gas, and substation departments who are assigned to one-person vehicles may be assigned to work from an alternative reporting location, which will normally be their home. In those instances where it is not appropriate to park the Company vehicle at home, an acceptable alternate location will be established. Examples of acceptable locations include nearby Company owned property, nearby gas stations, or other mutually agreeable locations. These employees will report to their vehicle at the start of their regular hours and return to the same location at the end of their shift. The Company will supply the facilities needed to accommodate this assignment. The Company will be responsible for any damage to or property stolen from the Company vehicle provided the employee has taken appropriate security measures. The Company agrees to pay any additional costs of phone service associated with this assignment. Employees will be expected to live within ten (10) minutes driving time of their assigned grid or have an alternative reporting location within the grid. Employees regularly assigned to one- person vehicles as of the date of this agreement will be grandfathered. That is they will not be required to meet this residency requirement, but it is understood that these employees will not move to a location which is farther away from their grid than their current residence. In some cases, an employee may be required to report to their normal headquarters rather than to an alternative reporting location. Outlying positions will be required to live within their assigned grid. Initially, these employees will be assigned to the grid in which they reside. If more than one of these employees reside within the same grid, the senior employee will have the option of their grid of residence or an unoccupied grid. This process will continue until all employees residing within the grids have been assigned. Those employees who do not reside within any grid covered by their headquarters will be assigned to the nearest unoccupied grid after the above process is completed. Any issues that may arise under this agreement will be addressed by the Oversight Committee. Network/Communication Technicians may be assigned an alternate location – normally their home unless otherwise mutually agreed – as the location where they start and end their workday. Generally, they will leave from home to their first job in the morning, only visiting an operating center on an as-needed basis. Posting for Network/Communication Technicians will include an assigned operating center. To be eligible for the position, the employee must live within thirty (30) road miles of the operating center to which the Network/Communication Technician position is assigned; or the employee must obtain qualifying residency within six (6) months of becoming the successful bidder. When filling Network Technician position(s) the Company will consider all candidates who meet the requirements for the position. The Company will have sole discretion to select the most qualified individual for the position. The Network Technician may be assigned anywhere outside their home Division within Ameren Illinois territory with no premium or restrictions. SYSTEMS RESPONSE STRATEGY The Company and Union recognize the importance of responding to the needs of our customers in a timely manner. In order to address this issue during overtime situations the following procedures are being established.
