ALL MEMBERS OF TEAMSTERS LOCAL #250 ~PENNSYLVANIA TURNPIKE COMMISSION
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
On June 16, 2010 an Arbitration Hearing was held
regarding the installation of new signs throughout the Turnpike.
The Union argued that the installation of sign posts does
not constitute new construction under Article 17, Section 3 of the Collective
Bargaining Agreement.It was also our
position that this has always been bargaining unit work.
Section 3.SUBCONTRACTING.
The Commission may subcontract new construction; the
reconstruction and rehabilitation of roadways, structures and facilities; the
installation of new equipment; and all work incidental to the foregoing; and
original equipment and facility warranties.The Commission agrees that it will not subcontract other work which, by
past practice or tradition, it has not heretofore subcontracted.The Commission may subcontract work that
either the employees are incapable of competently performing or which the
Commission lacks the necessary manpower and/or equipment with which to perform
such work.
The Commission did not dispute the Union's position that
the installation of signs was always bargaining unit work at the second step
hearing.However, at the Arbitration
Hearing the Commission produced four (4) contracts showing they had
subcontracted this work in the past.
The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission also introduced two
(2) arbitration decisions from 1996 which supported their case.
In light of these facts, the Union was forced to withdraw
its grievance.
Fraternally yours,
Gary F. Pedicone
Secretary/Treasurer
