ARTICLE 1: PARTIES TO THE AGREEMENT

This Agreement is entered into between the SEIU Local 503, OPEU, hereinafter the Union, and Eastern Oregon University (EOU), Oregon Institute of Technology (OIT), Oregon State University (OSU), Portland State University (PSU), Southern Oregon University (SOU), University of Oregon (UO), and Western Oregon University (WOU), hereinafter the Employer, the Universities, or the University.

ARTICLE 2: RECOGNITION

Section 1. The Employer recognizes the Union as the exclusive bargaining representative for all classified employees in positions represented by the Union at the universities designated in Article 1 - Parties to the Agreement, hereinafter referred to as employees or bargaining unit employees. The Union is also the exclusive bargaining representative for temporary university employees who: perform work in the various classifications listed in Appendix A of this collective bargaining agreement, have worked an average of four (4) hours or more per week during the most recent calendar quarter, and have a reasonable expectation of continued employment. This recognition does not apply to employees currently represented by other labor organizations, students who are not classified employees, campus police officers, or unclassified, exempt, supervisory, managerial and confidential employees as defined by law or as determined by the Employment Relations Board.

Section 2(A). When the Employer intends to exclude a filled bargaining unit position based on supervisory, confidential, managerial, or other unclassified status, the Employer agrees to provide the Union and the affected employee(s) with no less than thirty (30) calendar days written notice of such intent. Such notice shall include the basis for the exclusion and a copy of the current position description, including a statement of the specific duties of the position supporting the change in status. The employee may elect to exercise the employee's layoff rights under Article 44 - Layoff, Section 12. If the employee elects to exercise layoff rights, the layoff will not be effective prior to the end of the thirty (30)-day notice period. If the Employer decides during the thirty (30)-day notice period not to proceed with the exclusion and the position is not otherwise eliminated, the employee shall remain in the position. The effective date of the exclusion remains unchanged.

Within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of the Employer's notice, the Union shall notify the Employer, in writing, of any comments it has regarding the exclusion including specific information regarding the reason(s) for the challenge.

The Employer shall respond in writing within thirty (30) calendar days to the Union's challenge and indicate whether it intends to continue with the exclusion of the position.

Upon request of either party, the Union and the Employer shall meet at a mutually agreed time within the initial thirty (30)-day period to discuss the exclusion(s).
