Greetings:
This
material was prepared by the General Motors Department in conjunction with our
continuing program of utilizing the Subcouncils forum for the purpose of
education and familiarization of local union representatives with the
provisions of the UAW‑GM National Agreement. These Educational
Subcouncils have proven successful and the information conveyed has been of significant
help to our members.
This
Educational Outline is a review of the changes in the National Agreement during
the 1990 negotiations, including the documents, excerpts and statement for the
minutes, as well as an explanation of such.
This
information is provided to aid in the correct and proper administration of the
contract to the end that our members receive all of the benefits to which they
are entitled under the Agreement.
Fraternally,
Stephen
P. Yokich

(4o) Dues deductions shall be remitted
to the designated financial officer of the Local Union once each month as soon as
available but no later than within 10 days after the regular
deduction date. Any deductions made from subsequent payrolls or from Regular
Benefits paid during payroll periods that end in the calendar month shall be
included with the remittance for the following month. Local Management shall
furnish the designated financial officer of the Local Union, monthly, with the
names, social security numbers, department numbers and clock numbers of those
for whom deductions have been made, the amounts of the deductions and the
amounts deducted, by employe and in total, respectively, for initiation fees,
regular monthly dues, and S.U.B. dues. Regular monthly dues and S.U.B. dues
shall be identified as to the period to which such deductions apply. This
information should be furnished along with the dues remittance. The designated
financial officer will be advised of the order in which the names will be
listed and of any future changes in the order of the listing as far in advance
as possible. The foregoing notwithstanding, deductions made on a declining
balance basis, deductions of a past dues or initiation fee liability from a
Regular Benefit and deductions from pay for a liability incurred more than six
(6) months prior to the actual deduction date will not be identified to a
specific deduction month.
EXPLANATION ‑ This change in the agreement provides a means
whereby the financial secretaries will receive dues deductions when
available, rather than having any location hold them pending expiration of
the ten‑day time limit.
(6a)
It is the policy of General Motors and the UAW that the provisions of this
Agreement be applied to all employes covered by this Agreement without regard
to discrimination based on race, color, religion, age, sex, or national
origin or handicap. Any claims of violation of this policy or claims
of sexual harassment may be taken up as a grievance.
When a grievance containing a claim
of violation of this paragraph is appealed to the Shop Committee the Chairman
of the Shop Committee may refer the claim to a designated member of the Chairman
of the Fair Employment Practices Civil Rights Committee of the Local
Union for a factual investigation and report. Any such investigation will be
conducted in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph
(33). Neither the Chairman of the Fair Employment Practices Civil
Rights Committee, nor the member of the committee that he may designate to
investigate such a claim in his place, shall receive pay from the Corporation
based solely upon any activity arising pursuant to this paragraph.
The grievance and arbitration
procedure shall be the exclusive contractual procedure for remedying such
discrimination claims.
EXPLANATION ‑ This paragraph was expanded to include
discrimination based on handicap as well as to make claims of sexual harassment
subject to the grievance procedure. Further, the paragraph was changed to
provide that when a grievance containing a claim of a violation of this
paragraph is appealed to the shop committee, the chairman of the shop committee
may refer the claim to a designated member instead of the chairman of
the Civil Rights Committee for a factual investigation and report. In addition,
the name of the committee was changed from Fair Employment Practices Committee
to the Civil Rights Committee.

(1) As a general
rule, such committeemen will not be assigned to investigate appealed grievances
in zones other than their own.
(2) Other
legitimate representation functions are defined as normal in‑plant
activities pertaining to the administration of the National Agreement and
written local agreements, provided such activities do not interfere with the
work of other employes, supervision or the efficiency of operations.
(3) Or in another
zone when designated by the Chairman if the regular Zone Committeeman for that
Zone is absent from the plant.
(4) Three hour limitation does
not apply to Committeemen provided for in Paragraph (16a).
(5) Shop
Committeemen attending Management Shop‑Committee meetings on shifts other
than their regular shift will be paid for time spent in such meetings, with the
understanding that their total hours paid for the day in question will not
exceed their regularly scheduled shift hours for that day and such changes in
shift hours for this purpose will not result in the payment of overtime premium
(pursuant to Paragraph
(85)(a)]. It is further understood that the above will not result in any
increase in representation being furnished as a result of the District or
Zone Committeemen not working a full shift on their regular shift.
EXPLANATION ‑ The reference to District Committeeman was
deleted from subparagraph (5) in order to allow an alternate of a District
Committeeman who is also a member of the Shop Committee to function and be paid
by management for the remainder of the shift after the District Shop
Committeeman has left the plant when the District Committeeman was attending
meetings outlined in Document
24.

agreement. When members of the Shop Committee are

when such district or zone is in full operation, nor shall
it apply to the chairman when he is functioning in a
district or zone which is in full operation.
EXPLANATION ‑ This paragraph was changed
to conform with a National Labor Relations Board ruling pertaining to alternate
committeemen working overtime. The paragraph now provides that alternate
committeemen work overtime in accordance with local equalization of hours
rules of their respective jobs.
Job Status ‑ Local Union
Officials
(23)
The President, one Vice‑President, the Local Union Benefit
Representative(s), the Local Union Health and Safety Representative(s) and
the two union Local Apprentice Committee members and the Local Joint
Programs Representatives provided for in Document
No. 46 shall, at the point where they would be subject to layoff from the
plant in a reduction in force, be retained at work in the plant regardless of
their seniority, provided they can do a job that is operating. This will not
apply in cases of temporary layoffs for model change, inventory, material
shortages, machine breakdowns, etc.
EXPLANATION ‑ This paragraph was expanded
to provide coverage for those joint program representatives provided for in Document
46.
(24a)
The Chairman of the Shop Committee in Plants employing 500 or more employes
will be permitted to leave the plant in accordance with Paragraph (24) and will
be paid his regular rate for up to four (4) six (6) hours per day
Monday through Friday while he is out of the plant attending to Union business
during straight time hours when he would otherwise be entitled to be in the
plant for representation purposes. He shall notify the designated Management
representative, if he is available, when leaving and returning to the plant
during working hours. The Chairman of the Shop Committee in plants employing
less than 500 employes, but more than 250 employes, will be permitted to leave
the plant in accordance with the above and will be paid his regular rate for up
to eight (8) twelve (12) hours per week, which will be a
reservoir available at the start of the week, to be drawn upon during the week
Monday through Friday. Any single period of absence must be for a minimum of
two (2) hours.
EXPLANATION ‑ The time was increased from
four (4) hours to six (6) hours per day for the Chairman of the Shop Committee
to be permitted to leave the plant with pay while attending to union business
in plants employing 500 or more employees.
·
In those plants
employing less than 500 but more than 250, the Chairman of the Shop Committee's
time was increased from eight (8) hours to twelve (12) hours per week.
(46)(1)
In making a decision on a case alleging a violation of Paragraphs (183a),
(183b), (183c), (183e), of Appendix F‑1, or Appendix L, the Umpire
can only provide a remedy where he finds that (1) a violation of the express
commitments set forth in the above paragraphs, of Appendix F‑1, or
Appendix L has been established, (2) the established violation resulted
from the exercise of improper judgment by Management, and (3) an E.I.T.S. or
Journeyman employe, or in the case of Appendix L, any employe, who
customarily would performs the work in question has been laid off
or was allowed to remain on layoff as a direct and immediate result of work
being subcontracted, outsourced, or not being brought in‑house..
The Umpire's remedy shall be limited to back wages for the parties at interest
as defined in (3) of this paragraph., and in the case of Appendix L.
the Umpire may rule that the Parties at interest be returned to work.
EXPLANATION
‑ This
paragraph was expanded to include Appendix L which covers sourcing as an
arbitrable issue.
·
When processing
a case under this procedure for possible arbitration, the case records should
contain the facts to support the following:
1. A violation of the express
commitments set forth in Appendix
2. That the
violation resulted from the exercise of improper judgment by management;
3. What employes were laid off
or allowed to remain on layoff as a result of the work being outsourced or not
being brought in‑house.
·
The Umpire's
authority in Appendix L cases is limited to back pay and/or the return of
employes to work.
NOTE: In case of outsourcing the
April 1991 Subcouncil booklet on Sourcing should be consulted.
(76a)
When a suspension, written reprimand, layoff or discharge of an employe
is contemplated, the employe, where circumstances permit, will be offered an
interview to allow him to answer the charges involved in the situation for
which such discipline is being considered before he is required to leave the
plant. An employe who, for the purpose of being interviewed concerning
discipline, is called to the plant, or removed from his work to the foreman's
desk or to an office, or called to an office, will be advised that he may, if
he so desires, request the presence of his District Committeeman to represent
him during such interview.
EXPLANATION ‑ This paragraph was expanded
to include written reprimand. This is intended to apply to the first formal
step of the progressive disciplinary procedure whether or not that step is
called a "written reprimand."
Change in Shift Hours
(88)
Any change in the established shift hours or lunch period shall be first
discussed with the Shop Committee as far in advance as possible of any such
change; however, if the length of an employees established lunch period is
extended on a temporary basis for a given day, the net amount of time by which
the lunch period is so extended shall be considered as time worked for that
day. Complaints of repeated violations of this paragraph will be handled
under the provisions of Paragraph 5(a) of the National Agreement. For the
purposes of this Special Procedure only, prior to being referred from the
plant, the problem will be discussed between the Shop Committee, the Regional
Servicing Representative, the Plant Manager and the Plant Personnel Director.
EXPLANATION ‑ A special Paragraph 5A
procedure has been established to handle repeated violation of this paragraph.
Prior to being referred to the National Parties, complaints will be discussed
with the Shop Committee, Regional Servicing Representative, Plant Manager and
Plant Personnel Director.
