Mr. James
Anderson
During the 2005 negotiations the parties discussed the treatment of full-time employees assigned to redeployment status. When employees are assigned to redeployment status, they will receive resume’ preparation and interview training. The Company will attempt to use redeployed employees in other work areas if they are qualified and it is economically feasible. Employees in redeployment status must take advantage of all opportunities to enhance their skills and abilities. They must also actively pursue all employment opportunities made available to them. The Company may give consideration to employees in the affected area who are not going to be assigned to redeployment status, but wish to volunteer for redeployment. Employees in redeployment status will be ranked by their System Service dates. The purpose of the rankings will be to establish the order in which available jobs will be offered to the employees in redeployment status. Furthermore, such employees will maintain their bidding rights in their former bidding areas while in redeployment status. Redeployed employees may also bid on Union-Wide job postings and will be ranked in the normal manner. All entry level job openings represented by the Union, job openings that are not filled after being posted Union-Wide, and all job openings at grade level four (4) and below that are not filled within a bidding area, will be made available to employees in redeployment status. Additionally, job openings represented by other unions within the CG&E service territory, which are not filled within those unions, will also be made available to employees in redeployment status. The Company will offer any available jobs to the most senior qualified employee in redeployment status. The most senior qualified employee may reject the job offer and the Company will continue to offer the job to the next qualified employee in order of seniority until an employee accepts the job. The junior qualified employee must either accept the job opening or resign from the Company and receive any applicable severance package. Employees not selected/qualified for a job opening will be counseled on areas for which development may be needed. If needed, the employee will be responsible for obtaining any additional required training or development. While in redeployment status, employees will be eligible for a severance package. Out-placement services will be provided to any employee whose job has been eliminated. It is believed that the above accord accurately reflects the agreement reached between the parties regarding the redeployment of employees represented by the Union.
Very truly yours,
John E.
