TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES. 18.07.01 The intent and purpose of the following Articles is to ensure that ample consideration is given to the effect technological change will have upon the job security and conditions of employment of employees as well as the continuing effectiveness of the Company.
TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES. A. The Employer and the Union recognize that changes in operations resulting from technological innovations may occur. When such changes occur, the Employer shall give first consideration to the utilization of affected Employees in the changed operations. In the event the affected Employees do not possess the requisite skills or knowledge to perform the required work in the new operation and such skills and knowledge can be acquired within a reasonable length of time, the Employer shall provide the necessary training to Employees during working hours and at the Employer's expense.
TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES. 19.1 The Employer will notify the Union prior to implementation of any new technology or methods that may have a material effect on the wages, hours, or working conditions of any bargaining unit employee. When practicable such notice will be given at least 60 days prior to implementation.
TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES. 29.01 Any significant technological changes affecting members or their work environment will be discussed between Management and the Association prior to implementation with a view to resolving any problems. Whenever practical, the Board, through the Administration of the Service, will commence such discussions at least three (3) months in advance of the planned change.
TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES. The Employer agrees to give as much advance notice as is reasonably possible, of any technological change(s) affecting employees in the bargaining unit and will, if so requested in writing, meet with the Union to discuss such change(s). The employer will provide paid inservice training to all affected employees. At least forty-five (45) calendar days notice will be given to the Union if any such change(s) displaces an existing permanent employee(s).
TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES. The Board and BTU recognize that advances in technology lead to changes in the work environment. The Board and BTU also recognize that the retention of experienced employees is essential to efficient BCPSS operations. The Board and BTU will cooperate in providing transitional assistance to those employees affected by technological changes. The Board shall make every effort to find a position for which the affected employee is qualified within the BCPSS.
TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES. 18.01 The Company agrees to notify the Union at least three (3) months in advance of any technological change that may result in the displacement of employees.
TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES. Company shall continue to provide Union with as much notice as practicable of technological changes in its business which may have a significant effect on its workforce. In such circumstances, Company and Union shall then meet to study and endeavor to adopt appropriate solutions, such as retraining or special placement, as may be practicable before Company implements the provisions of Titles 206, 306, and 19 of the Physical and Clerical Agreements. (Added 1-1-88)
TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES. The Union recognizes the Employer’s right to implement technological changes in the work performed by Bargaining Unit employees. The Employer shall give reasonable advance notice (in no case less than thirty (30) days) to the Union of the Employer’s intent to implement such changes. This notice shall include sufficient information in order for the Union to be able to make a proper evaluation of the impact, if any, on Bargaining Unit employees. When, as a result of technological changes, new classes are established to perform Bargaining Unit work, the Employer agrees that the parties shall recommend jointly to the Civil Service Commission that such new classes be included in the Bargaining Unit.
TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES. Section 1. In the event of proposed technological changes, such as the introduction of data processing equipment, computers, or other automated office machines, the Employer agrees to discuss such changes with the Union Representative before such changes are made.
