Newly Created Classifications Clause Samples

Newly Created Classifications. In the event the Employer establishes a new classification similar to an existing bargaining unit classification, the Employer shall determine whether the new classification will be included in or excluded from the bargaining unit and shall so advise the Union in writing. If the Union disputes the Employer’s determination of the bargaining unit status of the newly created classification, the parties will meet to attempt to resolve their disagreement. If the parties are unable to agree on the bargaining unit status of the classification, the issue shall be subject to appeal by the Union to the State Employee Relations Board pursuant to Chapter 4117 of the Ohio Revised Code and the SERB Rules and Regulations. If SERB determines that the classification is appropriately within the bargaining unit, or if the parties agree as to the inclusion of the classification within the bargaining unit, the parties shall meet to negotiate the rate of pay. If the parties are unable to reach agreement as to the rate of pay, the Employer may implement its last offer, pending contract negotiations similar to an existing bargaining unit classification.

If the Union disagrees with the Employer’s position, it may seek whatever recourse is available through the State Employment Relations Board (SERB) pursuant to the pertinent provisions of Chapter 4117 O.R.C.

The decision of the Arbitrator, if in favour of the Union, will be retroactive to the date of commencement of the new job. Nevertheless, the rate set shall not be less than the rate for general labour.
