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.
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.
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. 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 V.P of Human Resources 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 contracted out work at competitive total cost to the Company and within the same completion time requirements. Where such methods are presented by the Union, the Company will give them due consideration and will advise the Union of its determination. The Union- Management Cooperation Committee will also examine ways and discuss, among other issues, ways that the work could be performed, in the future, by bargaining unit members in a given locality at competitive costs and within the same completion time requirements and to discuss the need for and nature of subcontracting information which would assist the committee in performing its function. 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...
CONTRACTING OF WORK. 33.1 The District shall continue to employ outside contractors as occasion and sound business practice may require; nevertheless, the District will not enter into outside contracts for normal and routine work which results in the layoff or part timing of employees in the bargaining unit.
