AGREEMENT REACHED FOR OUR MEMBERS IN

THE DISPATCH DEPARTMENT

In 2009 the company came to the Union and communicated that it did not want the Dispatch Specialist to perform the duties of both Customer Service and Distribution (ARSO). The Union was opposed to the idea, but the Company imposed it on us anyway. Today, they come to realize that it was a mistake and have come to their senses. Please read the complete Agreement below:

New ADR Form

Alternative Dispute Resolution

The Union and the Company have agreed on this new Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) form, which will be filled by both Union Representatives and Company Management. This form will help facilitate the process and keep us informed of the ADR Agreements that have been reached throughout the Company. The other agreement is that if you have not received any ADR Training at all, you should contact the Union office and ask for assistance from one of the full-time officers. The Collective Bargaining Agreement allows you to ADR situations where there is going to be discipline of 2 days or less. Anything else, you should contact the Union office at 562-696-0142.
