The underlying purpose is to preserve and
enhance employment opportunities for our members and
prevent the erosion of the bargaining unit. The Union
Contracting Out Committee consists of three union
personnel which are designated by the Local Union
President. Before the company decides to contract out any
work, it is required by the contract to notify the Union
Committee in writing. The Committee then meets with the
company in order to try and resolve the matter by
mutually agreeing that the work in question either shall
or shall not be contracted out. If the matter is not
resolved, a grievance is filed by the Union Contracting
Out Committee Chairperson. The committee also reviews
items which the company claims to be shelf items. These
are items that the vendor would have on stock and
normally be sold by them. The committee must mutually
agree with the company that these are shelf items or a
grievance is filed by the Union Chairperson in this
situation also. If you feel there is work being
contracted out by the company that shouldn't be, contact
a committee member or call the union hall. Tim Chambon, Ralph Johnson, Candace Crail It is the continuing policy of the Company
and the Union that the provisions of the Basic Labor
Agreement shall be applied to all employees without
regard to race, color, religious creed, national origin,
handicap, disabled veterans and veterans of the Viet Nam
Era, sex or age, and shall be provided a workplace free
of sexual harassment. Sexual harassment shall be
considered discrimination under this provision. There
shall be no retaliation against an employee who complains
of such discrimination, or who is a witness to such
discrimination. If you have a civil rights complaint,
contact a committee representative for further
information. The purpose of the Education Committee is to
help meet the educational needs of the Officers,
Committees and Rank & File members. This committee
was developed to help teach leadership skills, organizing
tactics, and to learn the history of the union. Also,
programs can be set up through the International and the
District for educational training on things like Civil
Rights, Health & Safety, Rapid Response, Officer
training, Grievance and Steward training, and just about
any educational need members may have. Through the
Membership Development Department at the International
members can get a college degree through the George Meany
National Labor College. If you are interested in finding
out more about how to obtain a college degree, contact
the Membership Development Department at Five Gateway
Center, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, (412-562-2400), and
they will be happy to mail you out a packet with
information. The USW-Allegheny Ludlum Corporation,
Western PA Plants Career Development Program (CDP) exists
