Sisters and Brothers,
Earlier today, Management from the Meter Reading Department and Labor Relations held a conference call with the Bargaining Unit employees in that department to announce the impending changes and final numbers. Attached is the presentation as discussed on that call. The department will be reducing staffing by 13 FSR's and abolishing the 15 Meter Reader classifications.
Sisters and Brothers,
Please see the attached MOU regarding Bargaining Unit employees who take step-up to C&M Specialist and how that could affect their seniority date. Thank you and please continue working safely.
Sisters and Brothers,
Please see the newly signed MOU regarding a change to the rate of pay for temporary Assistant Plant Operators. This MOU will take effect immediately and will only apply to temporaries in the classification. Thank you and please continue working safely.
