COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT Between NEW YORK UNIVERSITY And LOCAL 810 I.B.T
July 1, 2002-June 30, 2007

ARTICLE 12 - SHIFT ASSIGNMENTS

A. All employees covered by this Agreement who were hired before May 15, 1992 shall remain on the work shifts presently assigned to them provided that such employees do not voluntarily agree to accept other work shifts which may be offered to such employees by the Employer. Employees working in the co-generation plant operation, however, may be required to work a different shift for up to thirty (30) days in each year of the contract to enable management to provide training to the staff.

B. Employees hired on or after May 15, 1992 may have their shifts changed for the purpose of greater efficiency or to meet operational needs. It is not the intent of this provision to change shifts on a short term basis. The objective is to schedule employees when they can perform their duties most efficiently or to meet ongoing operational needs, rather than to deal with short term overtime situations. Accordingly, any employee whose shift is changed may not have his/her shift involuntarily changed again for six (6) months.
