WORK PERFORMED OUTSIDE THE BARGAINING UNIT Sample Clauses

The "Work Performed Outside the Bargaining Unit" clause defines the conditions under which tasks normally assigned to employees within a specific bargaining unit may be performed by individuals outside that unit. Typically, this clause outlines scenarios such as temporary reassignments, emergencies, or specialized work where non-unit personnel may step in, and may set limits or require union notification. Its core function is to protect the bargaining unit's work jurisdiction while providing flexibility for the employer to address operational needs without undermining union members' job security.
WORK PERFORMED OUTSIDE THE BARGAINING UNIT. 1. The parties shall conform to the principle that non-bargaining unit employees shall not perform any operation which would deprive employees of their regular work. This is not to be interpreted to prevent their necessary function of instruction and demonstration and of engaging in productive activities where required in order to handle incidents which affect efficient operation. 2. Non-bargaining unit employees may be used to perform experimental work, with or without the assistance of employees in the bargaining unit, as management determines. Experimental work is defined to mean all work involved in the development of new, different or modified products, parts, tools or equipment. 3. When experimental work is to be performed on a production basis, it will be assigned to bargaining unit employees. Experimental work on a production basis is defined to mean production of products, parts, tools or equipment after design and testing have been completed and production for inventory or orders has commenced, and will be assigned to bargaining unit employees.
