XXXXX XXXXXXXXX BUSINESS MANAGER. Local Union No. 1245 International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, AFL-CIO P.O. Box 4790 Walnut Creek, CA 94598 There has been over the years bidding priority confusion with the Materials Department. The confusion has been in assigning the proper Bidding Unit designation. In an effort to clear up the ambiguity, the Company proposes the following clarification in accordance with Section 205.19 of the Agreement. The Bidding Unit for Materials Department employees is the geographical area listed in the "Supplement to Title 205 Bidding Units" in the Agreement unless otherwise specified. An example would be if a Materials employee were headquartered in Ukiah, his/her Bidding Unit would be Bidding Unit three and when the Materials position is being filled it would also be in Bidding Unit three. Bidding Unit 14, "Materials Distribution" includes EmeryVille, Fremont and Decoto Pipe Yard only. Employees and the positions are in Bidding Unit 14 only. Materials Department employees in Bidding Unit 18 are 205.5 (d)(1) and 205.7 (b) bidders to Materials classifications in Bidding Unit two. Materials Department employees in Bidding Unit two are 205.5 (d)(1) and 205.7 (b) bidders to Materials classifications in Bidding Unit 18.
