Province Wide Dispatch System Clause Samples
The Province Wide Dispatch System clause establishes the framework for a centralized or coordinated system to manage and assign dispatch services across an entire province. In practice, this clause typically outlines the responsibilities of the parties involved in operating or participating in the dispatch system, such as emergency services, transportation, or utility providers, and may specify standards for communication, response times, and data sharing. Its core function is to ensure efficient, consistent, and equitable allocation of dispatch resources throughout the province, reducing duplication and improving service delivery.
Province Wide Dispatch System. (a) The Employer agrees to employ only members in good standing of the Union as long as the Union can supply Members in sufficient numbers to take care of the Employer's needs. Employees dispatched from the relevant hiring hall to projects affected by this part of this Agreement shall be dispatched with the site and safety training as outlined in Article 10.15 and be in possession of a dispatch slip.

(d) Any worker who is registered on the Local Union’s out of work list may be name hired, provided that they are able to support their layoff, or termination with a Record of Employment (▇▇▇) from their previous employer.

(f) When an Employee quits and cannot comply with (c) they shall not be eligible for a name hire for a period of 14 calendar days from the time the member has registered on the out of work list.
