Emergency Work Scheduling. Changes of an employee's scheduled shift length which do not affect the employee's working days and days off can be made by the Employer without the notice required under sub-section 15.2 of this Article in case of an emergency situation; provided, however, that the first shift on the new schedule shall be paid at the overtime rate. Such change may remain in effect during the duration of the emergency. Emergency shall be defined as a situation that could cause immediate risk to health, life, property, or environment in the region for which the Employer could not pre-plan, including severe weather or a natural disaster. Emergencies shall not include those day-to-day situations which require immediate action which have been normally performed by bargaining unit employees. The employee shall maintain their right to their regular shift and may be transferred to their normal shift at the end of the emergency without penalty.
