Rights Enumerated. Unless modified by this Agreement, the Port shall have the right to determine staffing levels and work locations; determine any given employee’s job classification consistent with this Agreement; recruit, examine, hire, appoint, promote, demote, train, transfer, assign, layoff, and discipline and discharge seniority employees for just cause; direct and assign the work; develop and modify classification specifications consistent with this Agreement; allocate positions to those classifications; allocate employees to those positions; determine work shifts and work schedules; schedule and assign overtime work; establish the methods, means and processes and personnel by which work is performed; establish rules; secure its seniority and limited duration employees from the local community, specify certain employees as seniority employees, subcontract work as allowed by this agreement, allow tenants and leaseholders doing business with the Port to do the work covered by this agreement on their leased premises only, and the right to take whatever actions are necessary in emergencies in order to assure the proper functioning of the work unit. Due to the unique nature of the operations of the Port, the demands for skilled Utility Workers are highly variable in specific skills and equipment, numbers of crew and required response time. The parties have negotiated in good faith on the subject of subcontracting, with the interest of the Union being maintaining job security and the interest of the Port being the ability to adapt to the ever changing maintenance requirements of the complex systems maintained by the Port as well as public statutes and policies regarding purchasing of goods and services as a public entity. To this end the parties have recognized the difficulty of adopting specific language limiting the right of the Port to subcontract, if the need arises, work traditionally performed by employees covered by this Agreement. No employee working under this Agreement shall be laid off, transferred, or suffer loss of regular work hours due to subcontracting or transferring of the work performed under this Agreement. Limited Duration Employees may be terminated without just cause and without recourse to the grievance procedure regarding termination.
