Common use of Dual Assignment Clause in Contracts

Dual Assignment. The Employer’s obligation to assign the work described in this Agreement or the Exhibit attached hereto, to the members of the bargaining unit is void in the case of work assigned by another collective bargaining agreement if it is claimed by another bargaining unit. For a claim of improper assignment to merit consideration of pay for members of the claiming craft, the claim of improper assignment must be made within seven (7) days after discovery of the claimed item of work. In such cases, the Employer will continue with his/her original assignment until the two (2) business agents of the claiming unions or the International Representatives of the claiming unions resolve the jurisdictional dispute. The Employer will not be liable for any back wages if, upon written notification of the decision of the business agents or the International Representatives, the Employer makes the assignment in accordance with their decision. Back wages, if assessed for non-compliance with the final decision of the Business Agents and/or International Representatives, shall begin from the date of receipt of written notice.
