Recognition - The Collective Bargaining Unit. 1. The City recognizes the Union as the sole and exclusive bargaining representative of a bargaining unit consisting of all permanent, full-time Dispatchers employed by the Employer, but excluding all other employees of the Employer. The SERB certification number is 99-REP-05-0110 and it was certified June 3, 1999. 2. Whenever the word "Employee" is used in this Agreement, it shall be deemed to mean the employees in the bargaining unit covered by this Agreement, as defined in Article 1, Section 1 hereof. A bargaining unit member who is promoted to Dispatch Supervisor may return to his/her previous bargaining unit position within twelve (12) months of the promotion date, provided there is an available position. The time spent in the supervisory position shall count as time spent in the bargaining unit for purposes of the member’s future step increases, if any. Upon return to the bargaining unit, the member will be assigned his/her old seniority date. This provision shall apply whether the return to the unit is completely voluntary or is the result of failure to satisfactorily complete the probationary period of the supervisory position, assuming the member is still eligible for employment as a dispatcher.
