Common use of WORK RULES AND PREVAILING RIGHTS Clause in Contracts

WORK RULES AND PREVAILING RIGHTS. A. It is understood and agreed by both parties that the duties performed by members of the bargaining unit cannot always be covered by job descriptions and, therefore, members of the bargaining unit may be required to perform duties in addition to all those listed within the current job descriptions which are, in the judgment of the City, related to the purposes of the Fire Department, which judgment shall not be arbitrary, capricious or unreasonable. B. Any Fire Department Rule or Regulation in conflict with this Agreement shall be of no force and effect. C. Prior to the implementation of any changes in the existing Fire Department Rules and Regulations, the Fire Chief must provide twenty calendar days notice for the Union to identify any bargaining as required in accordance with Florida Statutes, Chapter 447. If requested by the Union, the change will be referred to the next Labor/Management Committee meeting, which shall be scheduled within 14 calendar days to meet and discuss such change. If the Union provides no response, the rule will be implemented after the initial twenty day notice unless the time is extended by the Chief. The issue of whether such change conflicts with this Agreement shall be subject to the grievance procedure contained herein. The time for filing said grievance shall commence on the date the rule is implemented. D. All rights and working conditions, enjoyed throughout the Department by the employees at the present time which are not included in this Agreement shall be presumed to be reasonable and proper and shall not be changed by the City in an arbitrary or capricious manner; provided that nothing contained herein shall limit the City's rights under Paragraphs A, B and C of this Section or as expressly provided elsewhere in this contract or by law.
