Dan –

It has been brought to the attention of the Union that the City intends to manipulate the work schedule on Halloween to avoid the payment of overtime. You were copied on a message from the department head to the shop steward.

Article 7.3 does not grant the department the authority to change work schedules in this manner. Historically, one day events such as Halloween have been dealt with on an overtime basis by the on duty crew, as needed. This is a clear attempt to circumvent the overtime provision of the collective bargaining agreement.

I want to make clear the intention of the Union – if the City proceeds with this, we will immediately claim a breach of the collective bargaining agreement and proceed with all remedies available.

Please confirm your receipt of this message.

Greg Baxter
