Letter of Understanding By and Between City of Everett And Amalgamated Transit Union Local 883 The parties agree that Managers and Operations Supervisors relieving Operators for a revenue service trip in order to show appreciation and to build rapport does not violate Article 14 Section 4 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. The parties understand that it is valuable for Managers and Operation Supervisors to experience the challenges and realities of revenue service driving, And recognizing that the willingness of a Manager or Supervisor to "take the wheel" while an Operator takes a break can benefit and strengthen City and ATU labor relations, It is, therefore, agreed that with the Operator's verbal consent, a Manager or Operations Supervisor may relieve an Operator and drive a revenue service trip for them while the Operator takes a break. Agreement: • Qualified Managers and Operations Supervisors may engage in this practice up to two times per week without Union approval. • The Operator whose trip is being driven by the Manager or Operations Supervisor shall be fully compensated according to all applicable work rules while the Manager or Supervisor is driving. • The parties agree that this practice will not be considered a violation of Article 14 Section 4 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. • The parties agree that either side may discontinue this practice at any time upon giving notice in writing to the other party. • ATU 883 agrees not to file an Unfair Labor Practice (ULP) charge against the City regarding this practice if the City complies with the terms of this Letter of Understanding.
