Dear Mr. Anderson:

 

            During the 2005 contract negotiations, representatives of the Company and the Union discussed the possibility of employees bumping other employees with less system service seniority at the same wage level in other job classifications in the event of a job elimination situation. 

            During the discussions the Union wanted the Company to agree to allow senior employees at a given wage level within a bidding area, the right to bump junior employees in other job classifications at the same wage level within the same bidding area, even though the senior employees had never been in the job classification(s) occupied by the junior employees.  Due to the potential for a significant loss in productivity, the Company could not agree to that arrangement.  However, during the term of the 2005 – 2008 agreement, it was agreed that if such a situation should arise, the Company would work with the Union on a case-by-case basis, in an attempt to place such employees in other available job classifications at the same wage level within the same bidding area.  It was further agreed that if the Company is unable to place such employees in job classifications at the same wage level within the bidding area and they have 25 or more years of system service, they will maintain their job titles and wage levels and be eligible for negotiated increases and bonuses.  This only applies when such employees with more system service seniority are qualified, but cannot bump into a same wage level job within the bidding area, held by a junior system service seniority individual because they have not passed through the other job. 

            It was also agreed that should a job elimination situation occur during the term of this Agreement, at the request of the Union, the parties would meet to discuss the rollback procedure described in Article V, Section 3, which may be revised by mutual agreement of the parties. 

            This accurately reflects the agreements reached between the parties.

 

                                                                                    Very truly yours, 

 

                                                                                    John E. Polley
