WORK TRAIN ASSIGNMENTS Clause Samples

The WORK TRAIN ASSIGNMENTS clause defines how employees are assigned to specific work trains or crews within an organization, typically in industries such as railroads or construction. It outlines the procedures for selecting, scheduling, and notifying workers of their assignments, and may address factors like seniority, qualifications, or operational needs. This clause ensures that work is distributed efficiently and fairly, helping to prevent disputes over assignments and maintain smooth operations.
WORK TRAIN ASSIGNMENTS. (1) Work train service of 7 days or more duration will be advertised and made a regular assignment. Bulletins will be posted 7 days in advance of the scheduled starting date of the assigned work train, specifying, as closely as possible, the subdivision(s) on which the work is to be performed, the nature of the work, and the scheduled work and rest days of the assignment. (2) In the event of an assigned work train moving from one subdivision to another subdivision which was not advertised in the original bulletin, the assignment will be considered discontinued and the train, if required over 7 days, will again be bulletined. Work train assignments will not be bulletined working on subdivisions under different jurisdictions of territory on a seniority district except by prior mutual agreement. (3) Work train service of less than 7 days will be handled by through freight crews, except as otherwise provided under Local Agreement. (4) Assignments will be filled by the senior classed Locomotive Engineer, Conductor and Trainperson(s), working within the respective crafts applying, subject to qualification. In the event no applications are received the positions will be filled under the terms of the Collective Agreement. (5) When an assignment is discontinued, Locomotive Engineers, Conductors and Trainpersons affected shall have choice of assignment according to seniority and other applicable rules. (6) Unless senior Locomotive Engineers, Conductors, and Trainpersons desire otherwise, assigned work trains will be manned by junior qualified employees in the respective classes of service. Senior employees will not be required to hold unassigned work trains when junior employees are available. When two or more work trains are worked at the same point, the senior classed running trade employees will have the choice of which assignment they will work.

  • Work Assignment 8.1 The jurisdiction of the Unions shall be that jurisdiction established by Agreements between International Unions claiming the work or Decisions of Record recognized by the AFL-CIO for the various classifications and the character of work performed, having regard for the special requirements of thermal, nuclear or hydraulic generation and transmission and transformation construction. An Agreement or Decision of Record is one that is published by the Building and Construction Trades Department, AFL-CIO (Agreement and Decisions Rendered Affecting the Building Industry). Where no Decision or Agreement applies, the Employer agrees to consider evidence of established practices within the industry when making jurisdictional assignments. (a) A markup process will be utilized when an Employer intends to perform work on a project site*. The purpose of this markup process is to indicate to the Union the work which is planned to be carried out by the Employer in order to minimize the potential for jurisdictional disputes. (b) When work is to be performed on a project site and it meets the following criteria: same employer, same work, same project site, the markup process will not be required. This procedure shall not preclude a Union’s right to contest previously disputed work. * For the purposes of this Article, Nanticoke, Lambton, Lakeview/▇▇▇▇▇, BNPD, Pickering, Darlington, Lines and Stations and the 5 Electricity Production Zones are each considered individual project sites. In the Electricity Production Zones when work falls within this criteria the EPSCA Office will send out a “Notification of Work” along with a copy of the original minutes of ▇▇▇▇-up meeting(s) to the Local Union prior to work commencing. This procedure shall not preclude the Union’s right to contest previously assigned work, if the work is in a Local Union jurisdiction other than the one it was marked up in. (c) When an Employer has work that is less than 3 weeks duration and there are ten (10) or fewer employees covered by EPSCA Collective Agreements employed on this specific work, the Union and Union affiliates will be notified of the scope of work and the Employer’s proposed work assignments. The Unions will have two (2) weeks from the date of notification to submit jurisdictional claims and supporting evidence to the Employer for consideration. The Employer will notify the Union of the final work assignments prior to the commencement of the work. (d) All work that does not meet the criteria set out in clauses 8.2(b) or 8.2(c) will be reviewed and assigned at a markup meeting. (e) EPSCA will provide written notice to the Union as far in advance as possible of markup meetings. The Unions may attend these markup meetings, and every effort will be made to settle questions of jurisdiction before the work is expected to commence. (f) The Employer who has the responsibility for the work shall make a proposed assignment of the work involved. The Employer shall be responsible for providing copies of proposed assignments to the Union at the markup meeting. The Employer will specify a reasonable time limit for the Unions involved to submit evidence of their claims. The Employer will evaluate all evidence submitted and make a final assignment of the work involved. This final assignment will be in accordance with the procedural rules established by the Plan for the Settlement of Jurisdictional Disputes in the Construction Industry. The Employer will advise the Unions of the final assignments prior to the work commencing. (g) The EPSCA representative will record the proposed assignments and jurisdictional claims and forward a copy of them within fifteen (15) working days to the Union. (h) The parties recognize that circumstances may arise, particularly with discovery and emergency work, where the process set out above may not be practical or possible, however reasonable effort will be made by the Employer to adhere to the appropriate trade jurisdiction.

  • Shift Assignments When an opening occurs in a shift assignment in an appropriate work group at a location, preference shall be given to employees within the classification who possess the training, ability and any required special qualifications to perform the work required, on the basis of seniority.

This provision shall not in itself alter the practice of rotating shifts where such practice presently exists.
