Re: Letter of Understanding
Notice on Transfers
Dear Mr. Melton:
During the recent negotiations on the collective bargaining
Agreement between Local 1998, Council 23, of the AFSC & ME, and
the County of Oakland, there was considerable discussion between
the parties pertaining to giving notice to employees when
permanently transferred between buildings or to other shifts.
Mention was also made that seniority should be one of the
factors involved when such transfers are made.
The discussions resulted in an .understanding between the
parties to the effect that when an employee is permanently
transferred from one building to another or to a different
shift, the employee will be given notice of at least three.
working days of such transfer, when possible, and the steward
and president of the local union will also be notified. In
addition, on permanent transfers seniority will be taken into
consideration.
Moved by Mainland supported by Mathews the resolution be adopted.
A sufficient majority having voted therefor, the resolution
was adopted.
