Letter of Understanding regarding Union Busines.__~s, Article 4, specifically
the Union Time Pool provision (Secti'--ons 2 and 3),
IAFF Collective Bargaining Agreement
June 13, 2003
WHEREAS the Union Business article was modified from the preceding collective
bargaining agreement, and implemented upon ratification, and
WHEREAS an issue was identified post-ratification relating specifically to the manner in
which employees filling the positions of union members exercising this option would be
compensated, which, if not resolved, will create confusion in its interpretation and
discrepancy in its application, and
WHEREAS, through the Fire Rescue Department's Labor Management Team process, a
resolution was identified that is satisfactory to both parties and consistent with the
intended design of this collective bargaining provision.
THEREFORE it is the intent of this Letter of Understanding to resolve the above issue by
agreeing that
1) Union representatives will first attempt to obtain Union Business time through
the provisions of Section 1, if available, and if not, to default to the Union
Time Pool (Sections 2 and 3) which refer to the time donated by union
members.
2) Replacement personnel will be compensated on an hour-for-hour (straight
time) basis for the number of hours worked, the funds drawn from an
established reimbursable overtime account.
3) Each time this provision is utilized, a number of hours equal to the hours
worked by the replacement personnel will be deducted from the Union Time
Pool.
4) All Union Time must be approved by the Shift Commander.
This change shall have no impact on other part of this Article or on any other provision of
the collective bargaining agreement. All other articles remain unaffected.
This change shall be effective upon ratification by both parties.
Mr. R~ent, I.A.F.F. Local 1891
