The Union contends that management is in violation of our Contract by shifting work from New Business clerks to the Project Managers. Our Agreement does not permit management to assign these functions to any clerical workers other than the New Business clerks. The Union presented documentation proving that clerical duties previously performed by NBCU clerks are currently being carried out by Project Managers. We demanded that the Company discontinue this practice. Until they comply with our demand, each violation will be individually grieved.
Management performing represented work violates our Contract and threatens our job security.
With 250 jobs on the line April 1, we must do everything we can to protect represented jobs. Any worker who witnesses management performing represented work should document and report the violations to their Shop Stewards immediately. Negotiations will continue this week on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Company is expected to present their proposal for our wage re-opener on Tuesday and we are scheduled to discuss the Energy Tech job progression with members of the DOM council on Wednesday. The Union also will be addressing the Logistics job progression on Wednesday.
