Common use of Voluntary Solutions Clause in Contracts

Voluntary Solutions. The parties agree that voluntary solutions to problems and adjustments which arise from regionalization and restructuring are the best ones and will make every effort to achieve them. The employer shall notify the Union(s) of any proposed labour adjustment initiative in accordance with the general principles of Enhanced Consultation. The parties shall meet with respect to the proposed initiative and explore means whereby the matters arising therefrom may be accommodated. Specifically, the parties shall use their best efforts to achieve the permanent or interim solution which best meets the needs of the proposed initiative. In the event of reduction resulting from any labour adjustment or downsizing initiative the employer together with the Unions will canvass the bargaining units by means of a notification process to see the degree to which necessary reductions and labour adjustment generally can be accomplished on a voluntary basis by early retirement, transfer to another employer, and other voluntary options. In the case of voluntary options, where more employees are interested in an available option than are needed for the necessary reductions, the options will be offered to qualified employees on the basis of seniority. The parties at the health organization level will cooperate in the spirit of this agreement to facilitate interim job security solutions by means of relief assignments pending more permanent solutions. Failing voluntary resolution, positions to be reduced will be identified by the employer in accordance with the terms of the respective collective agreements.
