[QUOTE="brown_trousers, post: 1005694, member: 29972"] It doesn't work that way. Union jobs have to be offered to us union workers before management can step in to do the work. Its not acceptable to plan on management to cover union work when there is a union employee willing to do it. If your supervisor containerizes the leaker, then that in itself is a violation of our contract as they just performed work that should be performed by a union employee. Bottom line... we have fought very hard to keep union work within the union. Under no circumstances should we be letting management do any of our work, even if it is something small like containerizing a hazmat. I can see where you are coming from not wanting to get bumped, and the contract language can be interpreted that way. But contract also defines hazmat responding as union work. So it goes both ways, the contract language conflicts with itself in this scenario. This probably wasn't a situation they had in mind while writing the contract. [/QUOTE]
