Common use of Alternative Delivery of Service Clause in Contracts

Alternative Delivery of Service. In order to give the Union ample opportunity to make representation in respect to the alternative delivery of service, the Union shall be provided a minimum of ninety (90) days written notice, except where unforeseen circumstances make such notice impractical or unworkable. Prior to a decision by the Corporation to letting a contract for services of a kind provided by its employees, the Union shall be accorded an opportunity to discuss the issue with the Corporation and to make a submission on the department's plan. Following discussion with the Corporation, the Union shall be given the opportunity to make representation to the appropriate standing committee of Regional Council with respect to contracting out of work in question, and the Corporation shall make available to the Union any material, of a non-confidential nature as defined by FIPPA (Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act), being examined in support of its decision to contract out work at least six (6) weeks in advance of the scheduled committee meeting. In the event that the Corporation pursues or enters into an alternative service delivery arrangement that may affect staffing levels, the Parties agree that notwithstanding the provisions of this Article, the Parties may elect to negotiate a process of redeployment or appropriate conditions for voluntary separation, which, if successful, shall constitute the Union's final action in this matter.
