Module Three Discussion: CBA Example-Employee Safety
For use in Task 3-1, Discussion Board forum: Collective Bargaining - Employee Safety, in preparation for Final Project Milestone One.
The following Collective Bargaining Agreement Example is provided as a starting point for the development of a more detailed section that would eliminate confusion and conflict surrounding the specific issues of employee protective clothing, equipment, and tools.
From the standpoint of management:
• Employees are asking for new steel-toed boots every few months and appear to be taking advantage of the agreement.
• All of the employees want cold-weather gear even though some really do not perform many outside functions in the winter.
From the standpoint of the union:
• Sometimes the boots and gear get wet when working outside and a second pair is often needed but never provided.
• Employees are asked to do work with gear that is inadequate and worn out.
• There are growing concerns about the safety of employees in frigid working conditions with inadequate cold-weather gear.
Questions that need to be answered in the discussion forum:
• Should there be a set amount/limit that management will pay for new boots, jackets, and cold-weather gear?
• Should employees be allowed to pick out their own style of boots and gear?
• Is there only one source/vendor that all employees must use, or can they pick and choose?
• How should management handle gear that is worn out-should employees be able to keep it or does it go back to management?
• Can employees take the gear home with them, or should they change at the shop prior to the work shift?
