CONTRACTING OF WORK. 1 In making decisions regarding contracting of work, it is management's objective to consider carefully the interests of both customers and employees along with all other considerations essential to the management of the business. Some of these considerations include but are not limited to law, regulations, changing industry structure, economic conditions, and business considerations.
CONTRACTING OF WORK. A. It is not the University’s intent to contract to the harm or detriment of its employees. However, the University reserves the right to contract for goods and services to the extent not inconsistent with applicable law.
B. In the event of such contracting out or subcontracting, no employee shall be laid off, forfeit recall rights, or take a reduction in pay as a result thereof.
C. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to affect any current contracts, or their renewal, or to prevent any contracting which does not produce any of the foregoing prohibited results.
CONTRACTING OF WORK. It is recognized that the University of Cincinnati has statutory and charter rights and obligations in contracting for matters relating to its operations. The right of contracting or sub-contracting rights includes essential public needs where it is uneconomical for University employees to perform said work. The University agrees that it will not lay off any employees who have completed their probationary periods and have regular employment status, because of the exercise of its contracting and subcontracti ng rights. Further, it is agreed that subcontracti ng shall not cause the erosion of bargaining unit positions. It shall not be considered a layoff if the employee is transferred or given other duties at the same pay.
CONTRACTING OF WORK. A. It is recognized that the University of Cincinnati has statutory and charter rights and obligations in contracting for matters relating to its operations. The right of contracting or subcontracting is vested in the University.
B. The University will give the Union ninety (90) days written notice of its intent to contract functions or for services if such contract would adversely affect contractual rights of bargaining unit members. Such notice will state what functions or services are involved and what classifications will be affected.
C. If contracting of work presently performed will result in the displacement of bargaining unit members, the University will notify the Union of the specific positions to be displaced no less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date and will promptly meet with the Union at its written request to discuss the effects of subcontracting.
D. While the University retains all of its rights, attempts will be made to retain employees at the University or provide work with the subcontractor. It will not be considered a layoff if the employee is transferred or given other duties at the same pay.
CONTRACTING OF WORK. It is recognized that the University has statutory and contractual rights and obligations in contracting for matters relating to its operations. The right of contracting or subcontracting is vested in the University. The exercise of the University contracting or subcontracting rights includes essential public needs where it is uneconomical for University employees to perform said work. The University agrees that if its contracting of work results in the layoff of regular, non-probationary employees who immedi- ately prior to the contracting have been regularly performing the same work being performed by the contractor, the University will make every effort to transfer such employee to other duties, if available. It shall not be considered a layoff if the employee is transferred or given other duties at the same pay. If the University anticipates contracting work or services which may have an impact on the continuing employment status of bargaining unit employees, a special meeting will be held with the Union forty-five (45) calendar days prior to any contract being signed for the purpose of discussing such contract before the contract is signed. If any department is permanently shut down, a special meeting with the Union will be scheduled to discuss that closure before the closure takes place.
CONTRACTING OF WORK. Provided that time, quality and cost factors are reasonably equitable, no work will be contracted to outside contractors in the plant where seniority members are not fully employed unless on the basis of a negotiated agreement between Union and Management. The Company agrees to meet with the Union Bargaining Committee in advance of any outside contracting/outsourcing of production work presently done in the Woodstock Plant. The purpose of this meeting will be to review the relevant factors and circumstances that would impact the feasibility of performing this work at the Woodstock facility. Likewise during a period of layoffs or projected layoffs at the Woodstock Plant, the Company will meet with the Union Bargaining Committee at their request with the objective of discussing options with respect to the amount of outside contracting/outsourced work. The Company and the Union recognize that there are business reasons that impact outside contracting/outsourcing decisions.
CONTRACTING OF WORK. The District agrees that it will not contract out work which has been customarily and routinely performed by unit members in the bargaining unit covered by this Agreement. The District reserves the right to enter into agreements with other public and/or private agencies for the purpose of accomplishing necessary work, as determined by the District. Nothing stated herein precludes the District from exercising the provision contained in Paragraph 4.3 of District Rights, Article 4.
CONTRACTING OF WORK. 1 In making decisions regarding contracting of work, it is management’s objective to consider carefully the interests of both customers and employees along with all other considerations essential to the management of the business. Some of these considerations include but are not limited to law, regulations, changing industry structure, economic conditions, and business considerations. 2 Projects involving types of work which have been regularly performed by bargaining unit members in a work group will not be contracted out if the contracting out of work on such a project will currently and directly cause layoffs or part-timing of regular employees in the same work group which would have otherwise performed the work. “Work group” as used in this article shall be deemed to refer to the group of employees normally treated as a unit for purposes of part-timing or layoff under Article 24 (Force Adjustment - Layoff, Part- Timing, and Recall). 3 From time to time, but no less frequently than every six (6) months, the Chief Administrative Officer or his or her designated representative, and the Union’s Vice President, or his or her designated representative, will meet to review work which has been contracted out which, heretofore, was performed in a given locality by bargaining unit members. Such information discussed shall include the frequency and volume of work sub- contracted. The focus of the meetings will be to afford the Union’s Vice President, or his or her designated representative, an opportunity to suggest ways in which the Company could, in the future, use bargaining unit members in the same or other localities to perform the 4 The provisions of this article will be subject to the grievance procedure contained in Article 9 (Grievance Procedure), but shall not be subject to the arbitration provisions contained in Article 10 (Arbitration). 5 In furtherance thereof, the parties have agreed as follows:
(a) In lieu of all other procedures set forth in Article 10 (Arbitration), the following procedure shall apply to grievances alleging that the Company has contracted work which would otherwise have been performed by bargaining unit employees in a GCA in which (1) layoffs of such employees are pending, (2) in which employees are on layoff with recall rights and are available to do the work which has been contracted.
