Common use of Consultation Process – General Clause in Contracts

Consultation Process – General. In the sixty (60) calendar day period, the Union will be provided an opportunity at the appropriate project level to discuss alternatives to the proposed contracting out and/or the options for impacted employees. Health Sector Employers will give good faith consideration, in the discussions on contracting out, to alternatives advanced by a Union. Where a project involves services that impact a significant number of the worksites amalgamated within one (1) Health Authority, or a project that would impact on fifty (50) or more FTEs at an Affiliate Employer, HEABC and the Community Bargaining Association agree that the sixty (60) calendar day period will be changed to up to ninety (90) calendar days. At the end of the sixty (60) or ninety (90) calendar day period as applicable, the Health Employer will have the discretion to proceed with contracting out.
