Common use of Position Control Clause in Contracts

Position Control. On a monthly basis, the designated labor leader(s) for an impacted bargaining unit and manager(s) will review the status of all vacated and modified positions at the unit or department level and discuss backfill needs and strategies to meet them. Any decision to not fill a vacated position or to modify the position must be discussed with the labor leader(s). Management will keep the UBT or UBT representative group informed on the status of filling the position. In the event the union and the employer disagree with respect to any decision to hold replacement or modify the position, the union may escalate that decision to the appropriate Labor-Management Staffing Committee. The Labor-Management Staffing Committee(s) will discuss and review position control processes and any changes to the process or targets (position add or elimination goals).
