General Posting Policy:
Internal Postings - A notice of position vacancy shall be communicated to all UAW bargaining
unit employees. The notice of position vacancy will be distributed to every department and posted
on the City's bulletin boards for five (5) working days to allow qualified eligible employees to
apply. Notices will not be posted on Mondays. The notices will include information on job
title, grade, salary/hourly rate, department, Union Affiliation, brief description of the job content,
and position qualifications. If after the posting of the notice, no qualified employee has applied, the
notice of vacancy shall be posted extemally in accordance with the Human Resource Department
requirements. However, positions with a grade of 6 or less can be posted internally and externally
at the same time. The City agrees to consult with the Union, and for those vacancies for which it is
reasonably likely that no qualified internal candidates exist, the positions can be posted internally
and externally at the same time. If in the first five working days of the posting, no qualified
employee has applied, external candidates may be considered.
Within 60 days of a permanent opening, the City shall either post the position and fill it as
stated above or eliminate the position with such notice to the Union. The City can request an
extension of time to fill an opening, which will not be unreasonably denied by the Union.
The settlement agreement concerning job postings Dated July 25, 2005 is incorporated into this
agreement as follows:
1. The UAW agrees that internal job postings of supervisory or administrative positions in
UAW-represented bargaining units will be first communicated to all UAW and AFSCME
bargaining unit employees. The job postings will be distributed to every department and posted
on the City's bulletin boards for five working days to allow qualified eligible employees to apply.
If after the posting of the notice, no qualified employee has applied, the job posting shall be
posted externally in accordance with Human Resource Department requirements.
It is understood that under AFSCME's collective bargaining agreement with regard to
promotions to supervisory or administrative positions, the language in its 2002-2006 agreement
and any successor agreement shall continue to limit AFSCME to grieving only issues of City
notice and consideration for the posting and not the City's employee selection.
It is further understood that under UAW's collective bargaining agreement with regard to Article
12, Job Posting / Lay-Offs / Recall, the language in any successor agreement shall incorporate
the understanding set forth in this paragraph and no further negotiation shall be required of the
UAW by the City on internal postings.
2. [Omitted intentionally. |
3. The City agrees that with regard to vacant or newly created merit positions, a notice of
position vacancy shall be communicated to all merit and UAW bargaining unit employees before
notice is communicated to other City or external candidates. Such first notice shall be distributed
to every department and posted on the City's bulletin boards for five working days to allow
qualified eligible UAW bargaining unit employees to apply. If after the posting of the notice no
qualified UAW bargaining unit member has applied, the notice of vacancy shall be posted
externally in accordance with the Human Resource Department requirements.
