Common use of Pulling Clause in Contracts

Pulling. The Employer retains the managerial right to determine staffing levels and job assignments. Regardless of the previous paragraphs, the employer shall have the right to assign and reassign employees to different locations based on operational and resident needs; however, employees shall be regularly assigned to their home Units. Pulling is the transfer of an employee to another Unit on a temporary basis. Pulling shall be distributed as equally as possible among the employees in the position classification affected. The Employer shall keep a seniority list by position classification and shift, and shall pull employees by reverse seniority; except that the Employer shall pull first from Units where staffing is sufficient to ensure that the pull will not require a secondary pull. If there is more than one employee equally eligible for transfer to a different location, the Employer shall transfer the least senior employee. At the Union’s request, the Employer shall meet with the Union at a mutually agreed to date, time, and place to discuss the operational and/or resident need that resulted in a job reassignment. The Employer’s agreement to meet and discuss operational and/or resident need with the Union shall not constitute an agreement to bargain over such matters or its managerial right to determine staffing levels and job assignments. Nothing in this Section shall prohibit the Employer from designating nurses on each shift as floating nurses, or require the Employer to bargain over this designation.
