Scope of Procedure. Except as provided herein, grievances or complaints arising between the Employer and the I.U.P.A. on behalf of employees or on its own behalf with regard to matters effecting the I.U.P.A. as an entity or any employee subject to this Agreement, with regard to the interpretation or application of this Agreement, may be resolved through the following procedure. No complaint or grievance involving the same incident, problem, or other matter may be filed under this grievance procedure and the Civil Service Commission. If such a concurrent filing occurs, the complaint or grievance filed under this grievance procedure shall be immediately dismissed.
Scope of Procedure. The purpose of this Article is to provide a just, equitable, and expeditious method for resolving disputes between the City and the Union (or employees) concerning all aspects of the employment relationship between the City and bargaining unit employees, and concerning the bargaining relationship between the City and the Union. To that end, the parties hereby agree and stipulate as follows:
Scope of Procedure. The following procedures shall govern the reduction of certified/licensed staff made necessary through the reasons set forth in law. Such procedures may be subject to revision in order to ensure compliance with State and Federal laws relating to employment decisions. The procedures contained herein for such reduction in certificated/licensed staff shall not pertain to contracts non-renewed in accordance with Ohio Revised Code Section 3319.11 and to teachers employed as replacements for teachers on leave of absence.
Scope of Procedure. If the Board determines that a reduction is necessary, a reasonable reduction of teaching positions may be made by suspending members’ contracts in the event that a reduction becomes necessary as a result of a decreased enrollment of pupils, return to duty of regular teachers after leaves of absence, by reason of suspension of schools or territorial changes affecting the district or for financial reasons. When the affected member’s limited contract is expiring, such limited contract shall be renewed and then the new contract shall be suspended to accomplish the desired reduction.
Scope of Procedure. The procedures contained herein for such reduction in employees shall not pertain to contracts non-renewed in accordance with ORC Section 3319.11 and to employees employed as replacements for employees on leave of absence.
Scope of Procedure. Absent mutual agreement of the Parties within ten (10) days on the source of an arbitrator and the rules under which she/he will function, the arbitrator shall be chosen from the American Arbitration Association (AAA) panel in accordance with its voluntary rules, or the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS). Absent mutual agreement to the contrary, said arbitrator shall function under the American Arbitration Association voluntary rules, provided that any procedural or substantive provision contained in this contract shall take precedence over any voluntary rule of the AAA which is contrary to or inconsistent with it.
Scope of Procedure. 17.1.1 Reductions in force (RIF) shall be for the reasons enumerated in Ohio Revised Code § 3319.17. Any dispute regarding layoff or alleged non- compliance with the layoff procedure set forth in this article shall be subject to the grievance procedure. Such dispute shall be treated as a class action grievance. In the event that the grievance remains unresolved, the NOEA shall have the right to expedited arbitration in accordance with the procedures established by The American Arbitration Association. The arbitration decision shall be final and binding on the parties.
Scope of Procedure. When the Board determines that it is necessary to reduce the number of credentialed staff positions, such reductions shall only be made in accordance with Ohio Revised Code 3319.17. No unit member shall have their contract non-renewed for the purposes set forth in this section, except for the following: long term substitutes, leaves of absence, and mid-year hires (anyone hired after the 10th day of the school year). Prior to initiating a Reduction in Force (RIF) the board/designate/superintendent/treasurer will meet with the president of the association to discuss the intent and rationale of the reduction in force.
Scope of Procedure. It is the firm desire of the parties to resolve all grievances or disagreements equitably and as rapidly as possible. The Union may submit a grievance by following the procedure described in this article. The Union may also submit a grievance on the behalf of an employee or group of employees.
Scope of Procedure. No Adjustment Board and no arbitrator shall entertain, hear, decide or make recommendations on any dispute unless such dispute involves a position in a unit represented by the Association and unless such dispute falls within the definition of a grievance or disciplinary appeal as set forth in subsection 25.1 (1).
